Gut Health & Immunity | NuHealth Mumbai

Introduction

You might think immunity is all about vitamin C and staying warm. But the truth is, over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut.

At NuHealth Mumbai, we don’t just treat symptoms — we support the root of immunity: your digestive tract. Because when your gut is inflamed, leaky, or out of balance, your entire immune system suffers.

Here’s what you need to know about the gut-immunity connection, and how to repair and protect it for long-term wellness.

🧬 How Is the Gut Connected to the Immune System?

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes — good bacteria that regulate inflammation, produce nutrients, and keep pathogens in check.

Located just below your gut lining is a powerful immune barrier called the GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue). This is your first line of defense.

When your gut is healthy, you fight off viruses, reduce allergies, and maintain hormone and skin balance. When it’s not? You get sick, tired, bloated, and inflamed.

🛑 Signs Your Gut Is Weakening Your Immunity

Frequent colds, infections, or low immunity
Food sensitivities or bloating
Autoimmune symptoms (fatigue, joint pain, skin flares)
Brain fog or low mood
Hormonal irregularities
Acne or eczema
Sugar cravings or unstable energy
Trouble recovering from illness or antibiotics

🔍 What Damages the Gut?

Processed foods, gluten, refined sugar
Overuse of antibiotics or NSAIDs
Chronic stress
Lack of prebiotic fiber
Alcohol and caffeine abuse
Poor sleep + emotional suppression

All of this can lead to leaky gut, which allows toxins and food particles to escape into the bloodstream — triggering chronic immune overdrive.
