Osteoporosis and Your Digestion

Nothing contributes more to your overall health than digestive wellness. The digestive system is the root of health. No matter how well you eat, if your digestive system isn’t breaking down and absorbing the nutrients in your food, your body can’t get what it needs to keep you healthy. You aren't what you eat; only what you absorb. The common philosophy among most natural health practitioners is that you are only as healthy as your digestive system is. This is because without proper nutrients no cell, organ, gland or system can do its job properly. It takes strong digestion to break down the essential fats, minerals, proteins and other materials critical for healthy bones, muscles and running body.

Having good gut health is crucial for preventing osteoporosis and fibromyalgia because without a healthy gut, the body won’t be able to absorb the calcium, magnesium, and other important nutrients the body needs.
