Women's History Month is a perfect time to reflect on our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and all the other important women in our lives – past and present – who have been impacted by heart disease — the No. 1 killer of women.

So what do asthma and allergies have to do with your digestive health? Approximately 80% of your immune system is found in your intestinal tract. When your body is functioning optimally, your intestines support your health in a few ways.
