The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates said this more than 2,000 years ago, but we’re only now coming to understand just how right he was. Research over the past two decades has revealed that gut health is critical to overall health.
By improving gut health, it can help you…
Many researchers - such as Felice Jackman - who studies nutritional psychiatry and the link between anxiety and depression and gut health, believe that supporting gut health will be one of the most important goals of medicine in the 21st century.
According to Chris Kresser, there are two variables that determine our gut health: ‘gut flora’, and the ‘gut barrier’. Someone with problems with their gut barrier would experience leaky gut.
Gut health is important – your gut contains more bacteria than all the other cells in your body combined! We are technically more bacteria than human.
Healthy gut flora is crucial to normal gut functioning. The gut plays a role in:
There are 300 times more bacteria in your gut than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
The way we live can contribute to unhealthy gut flora:
Antibiotics are obviously necessary. They do, however, have huge implications on gut health. When you have antibiotics, it essentially kills the good, the bad and the ugly. Doctor Natasha Campbell-McBride is a gut health specialist. She says it can take up to four years to restore and rebuild the gut biome following a course of antibiotics. If you do need antibiotics, ensure you drink Alpha Lipid™ Lifeline™ and consume a diet rich in probiotic foods. Probiotics are live microorganisms that help balance the friendly bacteria in your digestive system and are abundant in Alpha Lipid™ Lifeline™.
Probiotics are tiny micro-organisms your gut loves. Probiotics are often called ‘good bacteria’ because they help keep your gut healthy.
There was a study done with a fake stomach, fake intestines and fake digestive tract, but real saliva, real digestive enzymes and real acid and bile. Do you know what they found? That if you have a probiotic capsule, not many survived the trip. The highest rates of survival were the ones that were taken 30 minutes before a meal or a beverage that contained some fat. So that is what makes Alpha Lipid™ Lifeline™ so unique being coated in fat to help it pass through the harsh acidic environment!
You can supplement probiotics with Alpha Lipid™ Lifeline™ which is bovine colostrum it is known to support the health of our digestive system by nourishing the gut wall.
