Nourishing your gut microbiome is a beautiful step in the direction of optimal wellbeing.
As Hippocrates once believed "All disease begins in the gut".
Trillions of microorganisms and hundreds of bacterial species reside in your gastrointestinal tract– where the balance between anti-inflammatory 'good' and pro-inflammatory 'bad' bacteria is determinant of your gut composition and by extension, your wellbeing. Factors that may influence your gut composition include diet, antibiotic use and physical activity level.
Digestive discomfort and symptoms of anxiety may be an indication of dysbiosis or an imbalance of good/bad bacteria. Taking a synbiotic supplement containing a pre- and probiotic may therefore be a beautiful option to consider, to complement a nutrient dense diet and support your inner health.
Probiotics may help restore microbial balance by re-introducing a diverse number of 'good' strains of live bacteria to your gut. Dietary sources include:
I. Yoghurt
II. Sauerkraut
III. Sourdough
IV. Kombucha
Prebiotics are a source of non-digestible plant fibre that may nourish gut bacteria and produce metabolites supportive of nutrient absorption, brain health and more. Dietary sources include:
I. Wholegrains
II. Flaxseed
III. Chicory root
IV. Bananas
I use the daily synbiotic by Seed– a scientific founded company. Uniquely, the Seed prebiotic capsule is heat, light and oxygen resistant, allowing 100% of the micronutrients and microorganisms to reach your colon and nourish your microbiome. The supplement contains 24 strains of probiotics and is vegan, nut free, preservative free and more. You may use BEC15 for 15% off your first month with Seed #seedaffiliate.
Remember to seek guidance from your health care practitioner before making a decision relating to your wellbeing.
