| |  | | | | MISSING | | Hundreds of different kinds of bacteria exist in your gut, some good, some bad. When the bad bacteria outnumber the good bacteria, it can lead to several negative health effects, including insulin resistance, weight gain, and inflammation. | | This imbalance is called gut dysbiosis. Below, we'll get into some of the signs of an unhealthy gut. | | 🌀 Upset stomach: This can include gas, bloating, constipation, heartburn, and diarrhea.

There are ways to improve your gut health. Continue reading below to learn how. | | | | | | | | | | | Step it up | | | | | | |  | | Niceday Mini Stair Stepper | | Did you know?
