Digestive well-being is a global obsession, and a lot of the hype surrounding it is concerning bacteria. Your gut is where these microbes end up and, because they are integral for a well-functioning intestine, these little guys do some pretty amazing things for our gut health \u2013 and for our skin<\/a>. That is, provided they are given the right opportunity…

What\u2019s messing around with your gut health in the first place?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are an estimated 100 trillion bacteria that call your body ‘home’. From the outside of your skin to the inner linings of your gut, they are living & dying & going about their daily lives\u00a0\u2013 which mainly involves keeping you healthy. These residents are known as your microbiome, and like any bacteria, they enjoy the comforts of warm, dark, moist environments; that’s why your gut is their main hangout. Your gut microbes have been extensively researched, and their integral involvement in nutrient absorption, metabolism and immune function are known worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, any critical disruption to this fragile ecosystem can cause dysbiosis (a super technical word, which in lay man’s terms translates to “an unhealthy mix of foreign bacteria”).<\/strong> It\u2019s an imbalance that results in an unhappy gut and other associated diseases. Sustaining the good gut bacteria helps correct this condition, but unfortunately most of us are sorely lacking in these beneficial bacteria.
