Listen to your gut: It’s asking for more friendly flora

A healthy intestinal environment is the very foundation of good health. And one of the best ways to keep your intestines in good health is to ensure a proper balance of gut flora (friendly bacteria).

The normal healthy human intestinal tract contains billions of micro-organisms, collectively called flora, that live in a delicate balance. They break down food into easily absorbable nutrients and help maintain our overall health. But, factors such as stress, environmental conditions, poor diet or use of antibilotics can affect the natural balance of freindly microbes. Having a healthy population of gut flora can help alleviate several uncommfortable conditions, like gas and bloating, diarrhea, constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, yeast overgrowth and general intestinal discomfort.

However, the benefits of maintaining good intestinal bacteria levels go far beyond easing intestinal discomforts. Gut flora produce cerrtain B vitamins and even omega-3 fatty acids. They’re responsible for producing digestive enzymes like lactase, and powerful immune factors.

But that’s just the beginning. The benefits of maintaining good intestinal bacteria levels go far beyond easing intestinal discomforts. Gut flora produce certain B vitamins and even omega-3 fatty acids. They’re responsible for producing digestive enzymes like lactase, and powerful immune factors.

But this critical ecosystem is fragile and easily disturbed. Some antibiotics can completely kill off the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Steroid drugs like cortisone and prednisone, as well as birth control pills and chemotherapy can also upset your gut flora. In addition, poor nutrition or digestion can impair the efficiency of intestinal bacteria, as can stress, trauma, surgery, or parasitic infestation.

When the number or activity level of your good bacteria drops too low, it opens the door for harmful bacteria to proliferate, allowing the opportunity for diseases to develop.

Keeping your population of friendly bacteria up is an important step to good health. To restore friendly bacteria take a daily suppplement and you’ll soon be back in balance.

• “Within two days, my energy level was definitely up.” I am 62 years old, and I have been using natural health procedures and products for the past 13 years after having a very long bout with diverticulitis. After suffering for almost 12 years, I felt like a new person with a new body after being introduced to herbal remedies. In March 2004 I was asked to test a new fruit juice blend with mangosteen. I began taking up to two ounces every morning and evening. Within two days, my bowels were moving well, my energy level was definitely up and I was sleeping better. Monthly chiropractic adjustments have been a part of my lifestyle for 12 years. However, for the past eight months I found that I needed an adjustment two times a month. After taking the juice blend for two weeks, my body did not need the additional adjustments. Evidently, the inflammation in my body has been reduced, and therefore my body is maintaining a better pH balance. I am also noticing a change in my vision and eye health."
