Poor gut health can turn your immune system against your own body, causing autoimmune diseases.\n- Endocrine System\nThe endocrine system is your body’s chemical messaging system, which is responsible for a variety of roles, including chemical and hormone regulation, metabolism, development, and growth.\n- Brain and Nervous System\nThe brain and nervous system are your body’s central control and command center that includes over 500 million neurons in your gut alone.

Ignoring gut health problems can cause abnormal sleep patterns, including insomnia, oversleeping, and generalized fatigue.\n- Depression\nThe science behind feeling “hangry” is directly associated with your body's serotonin level which is mostly produced in the gut. Imbalances in the gut can result in imbalances in your serotonin levels.\n- Unexplained weight gain or loss\nWhen your gut isn’t functioning well, your metabolism may be impacted causing weight fluctuations. For instance, not eating will trigger your body into 'starvation mode’ causing your body to conserve food and store it as fat.\n- Sugar cravings\nA lack of good gut bacteria can cause your body to crave sugar and junk food, which only worsens the issue.\n- Food intolerances\nIf you’ve suddenly had trouble digesting foods that never used to cause problems, it could mean an unhealthy gut.\n- Skin irritation\nAn unhealthy gut can cause skin dryness, irritation, or conditions like eczema. Inflammation in the gut, which can be caused by certain food intolerances or an unhealthy and unbalanced diet, can lead to a \"leaky gut.\" In these instances, certain proteins \"leak\" out into the body and irritate the skin.\n- Autoimmune diseases\nAutoimmune diseases include several conditions, including lupus, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.","What are some symptoms of digestive problems?",{"_uid":688,"answer":689,"question":690,"component":670},"68350421-1c5c-4aa3-9493-13b72e3aeb56","The most important thing you can do to improve your gut health is to eat a healthier diet.

If you fail to plan, you might as well plan to fail, and FightCamp is not the company that wants you to fail at anything. Consider taking this structured resolution path, which is a way to stay organized as you achieve your goals. \nA popular and effective way to create a path to follow is by setting S.M.A.R.T. goals.  S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. By setting goals that follow this framework, you can increase your chances of achieving your objectives and progressing toward your long-term vision.

Make Your Goals Specific\nThe more specific your goals are, the easier it will be to focus on what needs to be done to achieve them. For example, instead of saying, \"I want to get  in shape,\" try, \"I want to drop 10 pounds by March 1st by exercising for at least 30 minutes per day and following a healthy meal plan.\" When your goals are specific, you know what to do to achieve them and can take targeted action.\n \n2. Make Your Goals Measurable \nIt's essential to have a way to track your progress toward your goals. This could be a numerical value, like the number of pounds you want to drop, or a tangible action, like the number of days per week you wish to exercise. By measuring your journey, you can see your progress and how much further you have to go. This can help you stay motivated and adjust your strategy if needed. \n\n3. Make Your Goals Attainable\nSetting challenging, realistic, and achievable goals is important. If your goal is too difficult, you may become discouraged and give up. On the other hand, if your goal is too easy, you may not see the progress you desire. To determine if your goal is attainable, consider your current resources and limitations and any available support to help you reach your goal. \n\n4. Make Your Goals Relevant\nYour goals should be meaningful and aligned with your values and long-term vision. This will help you stay motivated and committed to achieving them. Suppose your goal is not relevant to your overall objectives. In that case, you may lose interest or find it challenging to stay motivated. Make sure your goals are aligned with what you truly want to achieve in your life. \n\n5. Make Your Goals Time-Bound\nSetting a deadline for your goal helps you stay focused and motivated. It also enables you to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments along the way. When you have a deadline, you can create a plan with specific milestones and action steps to help you stay on track.

We have all struggled to fall asleep from time to time, usually tossing and turning for hours on end before finally drifting off to sleep. Unfortunately, this can play a devastating role in our overall sleep quality. Sleep onset, or the time it takes to fall asleep, can be greatly reduced with a consistent routine of moderate to intense exercise. Boxing is a great way to get in a rigorous workout that can reduce the amount of time it takes us to fall asleep.

When your stress increases, your cortisol increases, pushing your body into “flight or fight'' mode. “This activation tells your body you are in some form of imminent danger and it immediately increases your blood pressure, elevates your heart rate, and releases glucose into the bloodstream from your liver,” the Academy says. If you can’t regulate stress, these hormonal changes start to upset your metabolism. \nWhen it comes to controlling your cortisol levels, the kind of exercise you choose is crucial. Crushing a high-intensity workout when your levels are high will add more stress to your already overwhelmed system. Listen to your body, and opt for low-intensity workouts like walking, yoga, or light weight-lifting to moderate your cortisol levels. This will help you feel less stressed and get your metabolism headed in the right direction.\n\n- Insulin\nWhen the bloodstream has elevated glucose levels, your body produces insulin. Prolonged insulin production also causes inflammation, which increases cortisol, and…you can see the cyclical effect of hormone disruption here. Personal Trainer Jenni Rivett told Byrdie: “Exercise will also drive insulin (a fat hormone) down, and levels will normalize while keeping cortisol…in check to prevent it from taking over your body.”\nA good exercise regimen can help your system produce insulin properly. High-intensity exercise such as kickboxing will help keep those insulin levels healthy – you just have to be careful about not overdoing it at the risk of skyrocketing your cortisol. 1-2 high-intensity HIIT sessions a week with several low-intensity workouts should help you feel leveled out and regulate your metabolism.\n\n- Sex Hormones\nThe link between exercise and sex is no big surprise – we see it splashed across social media, gym advertisements, and clothing brands all the time. But the connection goes beyond physical attractiveness and libido. High-intensity resistance training can help maintain and even increase testosterone (the male sex hormone), which is what regulates energy levels, the ability to build and maintain muscle, and libido.\nFor women, the main sex hormone is progesterone. When women regularly alternate between cardio workouts like running, swimming, or boxing training, and moderate resistance training, their estrogen, and progesterone ratios stay balanced, which keeps menstrual cycles regular, keeps pre-menopausal symptoms at bay, and minimizes increased fat storage. \nIn an interview for Well + Good, Sara Gottfried, MD, author of The Hormone Cure and The Hormone Reset Diet talked about exercise as a way of controlling estrogen, as well: \"Most women, starting around age 35, develop estrogen dominance. Exercise helps to reverse this trend, leading to a lower risk of breast cancer for premenopausal and postmenopausal women alike.\".","How does exercise affect your hormones?",{"_uid":2198,"answer":2199,"question":2200,"component":670},"41cacb48-5b0e-41da-b48c-e25a8eacb312","The popular theory that exercise gives you a rush of endorphins has been questioned and nearly nullified by neuroscientists and health experts. While it remains true that humans (and animals) experience lower levels of stress hormones after physical activity, it’s not necessarily thanks to endorphins. \nIn an article for Johns Hopkins Medicine, professor of neuroscience David Linden, Ph.D. explains that “exercise has a dramatic antidepressive effect [because] it blunts the brain’s response to physical and emotional stress.” \nWhile endorphins do help prevent muscles from feeling pain, that feel-good rush that comes from exercise is actually an increase in the body’s endocannabinoids, which, Dr. Linden says, are “biochemical substances similar to cannabis” that the body naturally produces when people engage in an exercise like running, boxing, resistance training, or a kickboxing workout.\nThough not hormones, endocannabinoids “promote short-term psychoactive effects such as reduced anxiety and feelings of calm.” These endocannabinoids help keep your cortisol and other stress-vulnerable hormones in check, balanced, and healthy. \nTending to your hormone imbalance doesn’t have to be a chore.
