It is essential to make sure you are getting probiotics into your diet either naturally through food or through supplementation. Probiotics are the good bacteria that line your gut that support your body's ability to absorb nutrients and fight infection. Probiotics are not only essential for gut health and improving digestion. They are important for balancing your mood, energy levels, skin health, supporting immune function and more. When bad bacteria takes over the the good bacteria in your gut serious health issues may arise. According to Dr. Axe more than 40 diseases have been linked to bacterial imbalance in the gut such as depression, arthritis, IBS and cancer. Imbalance in gut can be caused by several things. A huge one being antibiotics. As little as one round of antibiotics can throw off the balance of good bacteria in your gut. I always make sure my kids take their probiotics after a round of antibiotics to restore the balance of good and bad bacteria. Some other causes of imbalance are:

AuthorI love sharing my knowledge of clean food and healthy living. It's not as overwhelming as people think it is. I am not about eating salads 24/7. Anyone who knows me knows I don't really deprive myself. Through trial and error I learned what works for me, my body and most importantly my sanity. Archives
