Healthy gut bacteria

Bacteria is more than the last illness that you had. There are millions of bacteria in your digestive tract that help you lead a healthy life, every day. The study of the gut microbiota is new, but experts suspect that this enormous system of 1,000 different species may play a role in the development of autoimmune conditions and protection against some cancers and heart disease. The healthy bacteria in your gut are also linked to overall well-being, including mental health.

How do I improve the bacteria in my gut?

-Age, environment, genes and antibiotic usage influence microbiota. Your diet also influences the type of bacteria living in your digestive tract.

-Eat foods that contain prebiotics

-Consume probiotics or foods containing bacteria
