Microbiota that keeps are immune system Strong
Most of us would never have heard of the word microbiota before the Covid outbreak. But now, we have all become far more familiar with the bugs in our gut that some professionals, for years, have been calling the new organ.
The relevance of the fungi, bacteria and archaea, along with tens of thousands of different viruses, that form our immune system, is the reason people react differently to a new and previously unknown virus or bacteria.
When we hear or read about some criminal trial that involves DNA evidence, we are reminded that two people with the same DNA is millions to one.
The odds of two people having the same mix and quantity of gut bacteria, is even more unlikely.
Science is increasingly interested in gut microbiota as a means to determine everything we need to know about an individual.
Some of the latest research has clearly revealed life expectancy based upon gut bacteria activity. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the more active the gut bacteria, the stronger the immune system.
Food equals energy, and the higher the variety, the more likely it is that we extract all the necessary nutrients.
If we are short on any, then as a last resort we can top up with supplements. Perhaps an exception to this is vitamin D.
In some countries, doctors are very keen to prescribe vitamin D tablets to people over the age of sixty. This vitamin is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. The bright direct sunshine keeps us topped up.
It’s just a shame that we get so little of that in the UK, particularly in winter months.
Unfortunately, if a person doesn’t like oily fish, red meat or eggs and dairy products, they are likely to be short on this vitamin. Vegans learn this fact early on.
Along with vitamin supplements, many people feel the benefits of taking cultured gut bacteria to relieve minor ailments in the lower part of the digestive system.
And another ingredient we need plenty of to help good bacteria operate well, in the gut, is oxygen.
This element can also be delivered as a boost to the small intestines in supplements such as Oxylift.
The digestive system is a miraculous piece of work that uses mechanical parts, such as the jaw and teeth, acids, in the stomach, and various enzymes. And finally, gut bacteria.
Many of us are guilty of rushing our food and not taking a healthy variety. It is therefore unsurprising that minor ailments may occur. This is most likely in the small intestine where most of the final action takes place.
It is normally a sluggish movement that starts the problems that includes rumbles, bloating and other twinges. The trouble is often that waste is stuck on the gut lining.
If this happens, it compromises the final part of the process where the nutrients are supposed to pass through the intestinal wall.
A supplement that includes oxygen molecules and perhaps some good digestion bacteria, is often all that is needed to keep it all moving.
