Gut health is a topic that remains at the centre of most health articles and medical studies, and for good reason. A healthy gut boosts our immune system, helps us maintain a healthy weight and even improves our mood. Plus, there are all the obvious benefits of reduced bloating and an even smoother digestive process.
“Bacteria exist in and around our body and are often referred to as the ‘microbiome’. The diversity of bacteria in it is personal to each individual and most reside in the gut, forming a defensive barrier against foreign invaders harmful to health,” explains nutrition consultant and sports nutritionist Rob Hobson. “Taking a daily probiotic supplement is a good way to maintain beneficial bacteria in your gut, as is eating a range of healthy, unprocessed foods.”
