Gut Health

Microbes inhabiting your body are more numerous than stars in the known universe. Bacteria out-number human cells, viruses out-number bacteria, and microbial genes out-number human genes. There are more than 5000 species of bacteria, archea, fungi, protozoa and viruses in our bodies and new species are discovered with every 6 people tested.

These microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome, play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the digestive system and overall health of the individual. The gut microbiome influences a wide range of physiological processes, including digestion, metabolism, immune system function, brain function and emotional regulation.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are similar to the beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep the gut microbiome balanced. Prebiotics are non-digestible substances that stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the gut. They are typically found in plant-based foods, such as whole grains, legumes, and fruits.

There is a growing body of research on the importance of the gut microbiome in health and disease. Some studies have suggested that imbalances in the gut microbiome may be linked to a variety of health conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and obesity. Maintaining a healthy and balanced gut microbiome may be achieved through a diet rich in fiber, fermented foods, and probiotics.
