Over 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, with the intestinal lining acting as its first line of defence. Our intestinal lining is thin and semi-permeable, which means that it is able to release nutrients from food into the bloodstream, while simultaneously keeping harmful pathogens out.
The thinness of our intestinal walls is convenient for nutrient absorption but also makes it more prone to damage. This damage can occur due to chronic stress, poor diet, genetics, or infections like H.pylori. Damage to the intestinal walls can lead to more serious digestive issues and even a weakened immune system.
