Gut health is becoming quite the topic of discussion, both in the field of science, and in social circles. It is as if every second person has some or other issue with their gut. All food and drink that passes through the digestive system, effects the micro-biotic ecosystem in the gut wall that is intended to promote digestion and GUT health.
These 100 trillion live microorganisms not only promote normal gut function, it protects the body from infection, and comprise more than 75% of the overall immune system.
When the balance of good and bad bacteria is disrupted, symptoms appear that can be mild at first, but can easily escalate to severe health related problems if not corrected.
Ensuring a thriving ecosystem of good bacteria is the right step towards a healthy gut. One way of ensuring this is to incorporate a good pre-biotic to your daily routine. At miDIET we encourage the use of Progast or Entiro as over-the-counter supplements.
To make sure these good bacteria thrives, you can make sure your diet consist of food called pro-biotics that is the nutrition for these good bacteria. Good sources include yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi and miso. Other sources of food to promote good gut health includes onions, leeks, bananas, asparagus, radishes and flax-or chai seeds.
Persistent gut symptoms might need additional elimination of foods to promote gut recovery first and an assessment by a health professional.
