What If Your Digestion Is Quietly Straining Your Heart?

Hello
Here’s a powerful question no cardiologist will likely ask you:
“How is your digestion?”
Weird, right? But science now confirms something fascinating: your gut and heart are deeply connected—it’s called the Gut–Heart Axis.
When digestion is sluggish or toxic, it sends inflammatory signals that quietly inflame blood vessels, raise cholesterol, and stiffen arteries. That tired gut might be hurting your heart more than that extra scoop of ghee.
Let that sink in for a second,
The food you eat, your microbiome, even your poop timing—all influence cardiovascular health.
Here’s your 2 heart-saving gut tricks:
1.After-lunch walk (10 minutes): It lowers post-meal blood sugar and reduces heart strain. Your gut bugs love movement!
2. End your dinner early: Giving your gut 12–14 hours overnight to rest reduces inflammation markers that hurt your heart. This is gut-healing gold.
One small act you can do today?
Check how many days a week you eat without chewing mindfully. Your heart needs enzymes too.
