Looking to improve gut health? We can’t see or feel it. But inside our gastrointestinal tract (aka the gut) lives an interconnected system of microorganisms totaling approximately 100 trillion cells housing up to 2000 types of bacteria. What’s incredible is that this invisible colony living inside our guts, collectively weighs about the same as our brain at approximately 3 pounds. Bacteria conjure up feelings of wickedness, but most of the bacteria in our guts are there to help us. In fact, this network of “good bugs” in a healthy gut makes up 70-80% of our immune system and is our frontline defense against harmful pathogens and microbes. The microorganisms from this complex system, known as the “gut microbiome,” primarily live in the large and small intestine, but we can also find them in other parts of the body, including in the nose, mouth, and skin. And they have a variety of complex effects on our health. Not only do they reduce the pH of our guts to make it more unfavorable to bad microbes, but many also secrete antimicrobial compounds and block them from receptor sites in the gut. When gut conditions aren’t ideal for the beneficial bacteria, the bad guys can crowd out the good. The good news is that there are certain things you can do to keep the good bacteria in your gut flourishing so you can get the benefits they provide. Here's some easy ways to improve your gut health! |
