Description

This deep dive discusses leaky gut, a condition where the intestinal lining becomes more permeable, potentially allowing harmful substances into the bloodstream. The author explains that while some intestinal permeability exists naturally, modern factors like diet and stress may exacerbate it. Increased intestinal permeability is known to be involved in certain gastrointestinal disorders, and research is exploring its possible connection to other systemic conditions. The article concludes by suggesting that a nutritious, unprocessed diet may help support a healthy gut, even though the direct cause-and-effect relationship between leaky gut and widespread diseases in humans is still under investigation.
