Give to your gut for healthy digestion

"The idea of consuming bacteria is not appealing until you appreciate the benefits and how easy it is to supplement them in your diet!”

What you eat plays such a crucial part in looking after the health of your gut and its resident micro flora which work together to help your two brains work symbiotically together. That's right, we have a ‘second brain’ -our complex digestive system, which sends and receives information to and from our ‘first brain’ and using it to regulate the digestive function. Prebiotics are high-fibre foods, such as fruit, vegetables, beans, and whole grains, and are the life force for probiotics influencing other organs and systems in the body, helping to keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels within the normal range. Humans lack the ability to breakdown certain carbohydrates and fibre, so the microbes in your gut do the job for you.

Today’s busy lifestyles means many of us aren’t eating enough food with good sources of prebiotics. Ideally, your body needs a combination of prebiotics and probiotics, which is why taking supplements is so important. Probiotics stimulate the growth and activity of the good bacteria in your digestive tract - the same bacteria that has been taken from foods or supplements. A rich source of good bacteria is found in fermented food, such as yoghurt and kefir, where they convert sugar and carbohydrates into acids. They all have a part to play in enhancing the body’s immune response control and are believed to have a positive effect on mood.
