I have talked about?gut health?before but wanted to revisit this issue because I really believe it is the center for controlling many diseases.
Your gut plays a?huge role?in breaking down foods, absorbing nutrients, keeping out toxins, regulating our immune system and producing nutrients. That?s a lot of work!!
No wonder your Microbiome (gut bacteria) comprises nearly 2 million genes with about 300 to 500 bacterial species!
The number of bacteria within the gut is approximately?10 times?that of all of the cells in the human body!
So it is important to maintain a healthy gut and there are?several factors?that affect our microbiome?(some we can control)
Many?diseases?could be caused by gut problems.
**Less childhood exposure to bacteria and parasites in?affluent societies?like Australia and the United States actually?increases susceptibility to diseaseby suppressing the natural development of the immune system.
So what can we do to maintain a healthy gut?
This is a?small list of things to do?but hopefully gets you thinking of ways to improve your gut.
