What are the dangers of diseases of the digestive system?

Not everyone manages to dedicate enough time to preventive visits to the clinic and maintain proper nutrition. The level of stress and environmental conditions negatively impact the health of the digestive system.

If you have been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease, it is crucial to start treatment for the digestive system promptly. Waiting for improvements, consuming alkaline water, and relieving discomfort with heartburn medications are not advisable, and here's why.

The health of the intestines determines the overall health of the body. The well-being of the intestinal microflora influences a person's immune system. Renowned American dietitian and psychiatrist, wellness guru Mark Hyman, referred to the health of the digestive system as the key to the normal functioning of the brain. In his 8-part documentary series "Broken Brain," Hyman explains that the brain and intestines are closely connected even during embryonic development. These organs "communicate" throughout the organism's life using chemical substances and neurotransmitters. Digestive system diseases lead to anxiety, apathy, low self-esteem, depression, memory problems, and dementia.

In Russia, various degrees of diseases of the organs or glands of the digestive system are diagnosed in 85% of patients.

Diseases of the digestive system include:

• Esophageal diseases
• Stomach diseases
• Intestinal diseases
• Anal diseases
• Liver diseases
• Diseases of the biliary tract and pancreas

Pain and discomfort in the abdominal area and during defecation are direct indications to seek medical examination. However, many diseases remain silent in the early stages and manifest themselves in an advanced form, sometimes with severe pain attacks, such as in the case of pancreatitis. Therefore, preventive visits to the doctor are also necessary.

Diseases of the digestive system reduce the quality of life and require therapy, as they can threaten not only overall health but also life.
