How Probiotics Can Boost Your Health

The Power of Probiotics: 10 Ways Probiotics Can Boost Your Health, Looks And Moo

Author: Natalie Lamb

Natalie Lamb is a Nutritional Therapist at Bio-Kult and gives an insight into ten ways probiotics can help boost our health, looks and mood.

1.- Weight Loss: New studies indicate that the mix of harmful and good bacteria in our gut could play a role in weight gain. Ensuring you are getting lots of good bacteria alongside a healthy diet and fitness regime could help to reduce unwanted weight around your midsection.

2-  Mood: Not many people are aware of how well connected the brain and the gut is. Research has indicated that maintaining a healthy gut flora could help to reduce anxiety and lower levels of brain activity linked to emotion and pain while increasing activity associated with decision-making.

3-  Sleep: The gut is mainly responsible for producing the ‘happy hormone’ serotonin, needed to make the relaxation hormone, ‘melatonin.’ Taking a multi-strain probiotic could boost the production of these hormones to help you sleep soundly.

4-  Stress: Stress can disturb the mixture of bacteria in the gut, allowing an increase in bad bacteria. Stress has been shown to irritate or aggravate a range of diseases; probiotics could therefore be a valuable tool for encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria which supports healthy immune functions.

5-  Fatigue: A lack of energy could arise when you aren’t getting the vital vitamins and nutrients from your food needed to keep you functioning at your best. A multi-strain probiotic, such as Bio-Kult (www.bio-kult.com), could help you sustain healthy levels of good bacteria to help you absorb the goodness from the food you’re eating. Healthy gut flora also aids in the production of extra B vitamins, which are essential for energy production throughout the body.

6-  Teeth: In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the use of probiotics and the maintenance of healthy gut flora in preventing and treating oral infections, including dental cavities, periodontal disease and halitosis.

7-  Bloating: It is the bad bacteria in the gut that can produce gas and cause bloating in the stomach. Sugary foods can feed this bacteria, helping it to multiply. Taking a multi-strain probiotic could help to top up the beneficial bacteria to prevent an imbalance in the gut and reduce the effects of bloating.

8- SAD: Taking a daily probiotic was recently shown to increase vitamin D levels by more than 25% (well known to be low during the winter months and in SAD) and modulate the brain’s area responsible for mood.

9-  Allergies: Allergies are said to malfunction your immune system. With 70% of the immune system lying in the gut, maintaining a healthy gut flora could help manage the various allergy symptoms.

10-  IBS: IBS is associated with an imbalance of the normal ‘friendly’ bacteria in the intestine and is becoming increasingly common in our busy modern lifestyles. A multi-strain probiotic could help top up levels of healthy bacteria, supportive of healthy digestive function.
