Health begins in the gut
The gut microbiota
Did you know that your gut microbiota is the home for 1-2kg or 100 trillion bacteria? There are about 1000 different types of species of bacteria in your gut.
Bacteria are not all bad. Most of the bacteria, known as probiotics, are beneficial for maintaining good health. To function optimally, it is important that you keep a correct balance between these good and bad bacteria.
An ideal gut balance
Probiotics assist in the restoration of good bacteria by crowding out any potential bad bacteria. They reinforce the integrity of the gut barrier, providing an extra level of defence against injurious microorganisms from entering the body.
Factors that influence the gut microbiota
The delicate balance of gut microbiota can be disrupted by numerous factors such as:
- Poor dietary choices
- Stress
- Ageing
- Medication
- Lack of exercise
- Smoking
- Alcohol
Signs of an imbalanced gut microbiota
An imbalance of gut microbiota, often due to lack of good bacteria or an overgrowth of bad bacteria, can negatively affect your well-being. Here are some signs to look for:
Probiotic + Prebiotic = Synbiotic
Probiotics work synergistically with prebiotics, non-digestible fibres that feed the good bacteria, stimulating their growth and activity in your gut. Inulin is one of the best-known examples of prebiotics. Combining probiotics and prebiotics in a powerful synergy, known as synbiotic, can optimise the beneficial effects of both.
