Don’t Suffer From Unpleasant Digestion Problems

Bacteria in your gut might sound like a bad thing but, actually, your gut uses bacteria to process food into energy.^[1]We call these helpful bacteria probiotics. Most people have heard the term in yogurt ads, but that’s about it. What are probiotics and what do they mean to your body?

It all starts in your gut, the system in your body responsible for digestion. Proper digestion is essential to your health and probiotics are essential to your gut. When bacteria are out of balance, it can cause problems such as:

• Gas
^[2]
• Bloating
^[3]
• Diarrhea
^[4]
• Constipation^[5]
• Abdominal pain and cramping
^[6]

4. Eat Less Refined Sugar

Among the many problems caused by refined sugar (inflammation, weight gain, hormonal imbalance…), it also promotes the growth of bad bacteria and upsets gut flora balance.^[13]

5. Lower Your Stress Levels

These chemicals affect how well your gut works.
