The battle of the bulge has been the biggest struggle, whether it is visceral fat, acidity, digestion, elimination of toxins, or absorption of food, guts have always played a major role. The gut becomes the collection and distribution centre of nutrients.

"Do you have the guts is a common question we ask people in terms of courage, in terms of boldness towards life, independence and liberty towards life, and living an uninhibited life. The guts, if sound from the inside, if in the state of homeostasis, certainly give you liberty and make you uninhibited and courageous. All the fears, phobias, insecurities, apprehensions of life, and limitations of life come out because of disturbed guts. Just in your solar plexus cavity, fears, phobias, insecurities, despair, resentments, hatred, and all such negative emotions are stored for lives together," says Dr. Mickey Mehta, holistic health and wellness guru.
