Support Your Health

Are you looking for a way to stay healthy? Eat more bacteria!

Did you know you need bacteria to be healthy? While harmful bacteria do exist and can cause pain and sickness, there are large quantities of healthy bacteria inside your body. In fact, your body is filled with trillions of bacterial cells, outnumbering your human cells by 10 to 1.

These more than 400 different types of natural bacteria exist to help maintain your health. For example, intestinal bacteria produce enzymes, which allow your body to metabolise vitamins and digest fats and carbohydrates. Healthy bacteria in the gut (gastrointestinal system) also aid in proper hormone regulation and work to keep harmful bacteria at bay.

Probiotic-packed Foods

Want to add a nutritional punch to your diet? Eat more probiotic-packed foods to increase the healthy bacteria in your body. These foods might include authentic sauerkraut, sourdough bread, kefir, kombucha, miso soup, kimchi and yogurt. Remember that yogurt contains sugar so opt for plain. The probiotics in these foods are real bacteria that are healthy and ready to boost your body’s health.

Since 80% of your immune system is in your gut, the overall health of your digestive system is very important.
