Gut Health and Knowledge
The Gut is powerful. An overgrowth of bad bacteria can cause an imbalance in our gut. Harmful toxins produced by gut bacteria may then leak from the intestines into the bloodstream. The result can be chronic inflammation throughout the body.
Symptoms that indicate this toxicity and inflammation include bad breath, chronic gas and bloating, acid reflux, constipation, dry skin and hair, excess belly fat, intestinal pain/stomach cramps, fatigue and food sensitivities. These are not all the symptoms.
Gut, Inside & Out
Anything from saturated fats to stress can encourage this leakage. Plants can help reverse it with prebiotic fiber found in fruits and vegetables. When the good bacteria feeds on the prebiotic fiber, they produce short-chain fatty acids shown to rebalance the gut microbiome and repair injury to the gut barrier. Fermented foods, such as kombucha, kefir and kimchi can also help. A 2021 study published in the science journal Cell showed subjects who consumed probiotic-rich fermented foods increased healthy microbial diversity in their guts, and lowered levels of inflammatory compounds.
The common treatment for stomach issues is to consume probiotics, however balancing prebiotics and probiotics is important for overall gut health. The proper balance between the two can:
- Improve nutrient absorption: Prebiotics and probiotics work together to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, which helps improve nutrient absorption and digestion.
- Enhance immune function: A healthy balance of prebiotics and probiotics can help boost the immune system by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that help fight off harmful pathogens.
- Reduce inflammation: An imbalance of gut bacteria can lead to inflammation, which has been linked to several chronic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and obesity.
- Balancing prebiotics and probiotics can help reduce inflammation and promote gut health.
- Improve mental health: The belly and brain are closely connected, and an imbalance of gut bacteria has been linked to several mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression.
- Balancing prebiotics and probiotics can help improve mental health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
- Balancing prebiotics and probiotics is essential for improving gut health and promoting overall health and wellbeing. A diet rich in prebiotic and probiotic foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods will contribute to your gut health.
- A well balanced supplement, providing both prebiotics and probiotics, such as the FibRestore (https://getfitsavvy.reliv.com/p/fibrestore) ensures your body is getting what it needs to maintain a healthy gut balance.
