Health Tip
Last week, we talked about The Compound Effect and how CHOICES affect this!
*NEW* Functional Medicine Corner
Welcome to a new section of the newsletter! Here we will address the many ways we can optimize health further by focusing on lifestyle, nutrition and gut health.
As we continue to figure out how to protect ourselves from the multiple viruses we are exposed to during the winter months, we are all looking at ways to boost our immune system. Did you know that up to 70-80% of the immune system resides inside of the gut??
SO…In order to ensure that our immune system is ready to attack whatever nasty bugs we encounter, we need to address the health of our GI tract as well. (And remember – our immune system also manages inflammation, allergic response and even autoimmune disease in addition to protecting us from outside pathogens.)
What can we do? The answer is complex, but one aspect that needs to be addressed is the microbiome. The beneficial bacteria inside of our gut communicate with our immune system in several ways to keep it running optimally. And our bacteria can be distorted over time due to repeated exposure to antibiotics, chemicals, even stress! Thankfully we can work to rebuild a beneficial bacterial army inside of our gut by taking good quality probiotics, as well as eating probiotic foods and providing those guys with optimal fuel.
Stay tuned next week for more details on what to look for when trying to replenish your gut army!
