Digestive Health
Digestive health refers to the state of your digestive system and gastrointestinal tract. Lactose intolerance, heart burn, ulcers, constipation and diarrhea are all conditions associated with digestive health. In some cases enzymes and bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract have a hard time breaking down certain sugars or proteins into a form the body can use, which can result in either constipation or diarrhea. Laxatives or certain probiotics can serve as a remedy for some digestive issues.
