The Most Important “Supplement” for Your Health

January 22, 2014 By Karen Sorenson

The more I study health, the more I have come to appreciate how crucially important the bacteria in your gut are to your health. The website Green Med Info has assembled an amazing list of more than 200 studies, which together explore more than 170 diseases which can be helped or treated with probiotics. Probiotics are one of the fastest growing supplement categories. The rise of probiotics has also led to the rise of prebiotic supplements and synbiotics like Seed that combine both probiotics and prebiotics.

The conditions include:

  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Atopic Dermatitis
  • Diarrhea
  • Allergic Rhinitis
  • And even the common cold!

According to just one of the many studies linked on the site:

“The ability of the gut microbiota and oral probiotics to influence systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, glycemic control, tissue lipid content and even mood itself, may have important implications …”

Eating sugar actually nourishes the bad or pathogenic bacteria yeast and fungi in your gut, which may actually harm you more than its impact on insulin resistance.  One of the major results of eating a healthy diet is that you cause your beneficial gut bacteria to flourish, and they secondarily perform the real “magic” of restoring your health. You may have noticed that probiotics are now featuring in articles relating to all sorts of health problems, including obesity,diabetes, depression and heart disease.
