A Healthy Digestive Track and your Immune System!
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is affected by your GI’s (think digestive system) health? Well it is and a healthy digestive system means a strong immune system. Immune system health is important to fight off illness and disease. During times of illness anti-biotics often play a role in restoring health. Unfortunately anti-biotics can kill both good and bad bacteria.
Good Bacteria? You bet. Like the kinds found in your digestive system assisting with the complete digestion and absorption of the food you eat. The good bacteria’s ensure that your digestive system is healthy, which means your immune system is healthy.
How can the good bacteria be increased?
Two ways…..Pre-biotics and Pro-biotics.
Pre-Biotics: Ferment in the stomach to produce good bacteria. Great sources are yogurt and believe it or not whey protein.
Pro-Biotics: Pro-Biotics differ from the Pre-Biotics because they will survive stomach acid and move further down the digestive track. Pro-Biotics can be found refrigerated at quality health food stores and most chiropractic offices. Real Pro-Biotics will have 109 (1 billion or 10 billion). The products do have a shelf life and MUST be refrigerated, check both.
Try using both Pre (Yogurt) and Pro-Biotics (from health food store):
Pre-Biotics + Pro-Biotics = Synbiotics
