How To Protect Your Gut Health Over New Year’s
Here is a piece I weighed in on for The Bustle about drinking and gut health:
“One of the challenges is that many people do not drink in moderation, thus leading to [gut] dysfunction. Alcohol is a toxin, and the body recognizes it as such,” registered dietitian and nutritionist Maya Feller tells Bustle. “The gut then becomes susceptible to dysbiosis [aka, imbalances in gut bacteria], inflammation, and changes in the microbiome. This can lead to changes in immune function, since the gut is the largest immune mediator in the body, and an increased risk for disease.”
