6 Most Effective Foods and Whole Food Supplements for Digestive Health

Our digestive system is perhaps one of the most undervalued in the entire body! We realize how important our circulatory system is, and we notice immediately if there is any disturbance in our nervous system. Even the endocrine system, despite having the least known name, gets more press than our poor old gut! However, the body is a unified symbiotic whole, and you can't ignore any system more than the others. Today we are looking at some great foods and whole food supplements for protecting your digestive health.

1. Soups and bone stocks
   Many people have absolutely no idea that one of the most detrimental changes in our diets comes simply from using artificial stocks, rather than animal bones, for our soups.
