Why Gut Health is Important
Our world has changed so much… in the last 50 years the amount of chemicals in our environment, food, water, cosmetics (basically everything!) have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, these chemicals are entering our system disrupting our internal ‘workings’ causing disease and infertility.
As these environmental chemicals are everywhere there has been a huge amount of research conducted on how these effect the good gut bacteria that lives inside us. These good bacteria help us in so many ways and without them we would not be alive.
What does Good Gut bacteria do?
- Helps with immunity
- Produces B Vitamins and Vitamin K
- Influences the production of neurotransmitters like Serotonin
- Aids in the correct digestion and absorption of nutrients
- Protects the epithelial lining of the digestive system
- Protects against toxic heavy metals, harmful bacteria, parasites and viruses.
It is absolutely essential that we feed the good gut bacteria (microbiome) the right foods in order to keep their numbers ‘high’ as this ensures our best health. Fermented foods are your best choice! These foods boost the production of ‘good’ bacteria in the gut and includes food such as yoghurt, kefir (Yakault is a commercial kefir), sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, pickles, tempeh, olives and lassi (yoghurt drink)
Besides eating the right foods, taking a daily probiotic supplement every day is great to ‘top up’ the microbiome. ..and The Natural Way can definitely help you with that. We have recently introduced into our range three (3) brand new formulations that are in a bio-fermented base to enhance good bacteria growth and helps you to stay healthy on the inside. These are:
