Five Signs of a Healthy, Well-Functioning Digestive System
-
Regular bowel movements
Having 2–3 bowel movements every day is the best indicator of a well-functioning digestive system. If you consistently experience constipation or diarrhea, however, your digestive health may need attention.
-
Clear skin
Your skin is the largest organ and an excellent indicator of gut health. Clear skin suggests proper digestion; rashes may point to issues like chronic allergies, IBS or SIBO.
-
Little or no gas/flatulence
Healthy digestion typically produces gas only before a bowel movement. Occasional, odorless gas is normal, but frequent, foul-smelling gas can indicate an imbalance in your digestive system.
-
Clean tongue and clear eyes
Bright eyes and a healthy, pink tongue suggest good digestive health. Yellowing eyes, dark circles, or cracks in the tongue can signal inflammation or other organ issues.
-
Excellent emotional health
A well-functioning gut supports emotional balance. Proper nutrient absorption nourishes both mind and body; poor digestion can negatively affect your mental well-being.
The Bottom Line
From the foods you eat to your sleep patterns, multiple factors influence your digestive health. Choose gut-friendly foods and consider 100% plant-based supplements like Calocurb to support better eating habits. Trust your gut for a healthy mind and body, and monitor your bowel movements, skin, eyes, tongue and emotions to catch and prevent any digestive discomfort early.
