  Comments:
I preferred Nicolas's gloss. 活 here doesn't refer to intestinal activity but rather the attempts/efforts to improve one's gut health.

What's wrong with the initial proposal? I think the meaning is clearer on that one.

I agree it's a bit 直訳 which is why I added the extra information. It's one of those oh-so-common Japanese euphemisms,

Not a fan of the new gloss. "Intestinal activity" sounds to me like bowel movements, changes in gut flora etc.
