Today Tom answers a specific question that was put to him by a client and that is what are the best probiotics to take to improve their gut health? Digging through the data has found some information and answers to help you make an informed decision when choosing which, when, and how often.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Viruses, bacteria, microbes and fungi are all over and inside your body. If kept in the right balance they can contribute to make you healthier and happier. There are now links showing improved gut health can also help with a number of mental health problems, obesity and diabetes.  One of the most common ways to take probiotics is orally through capsule but you can start with looking at your basic diet. With a poor diet, you will have poor gut health.  Include fermented foods in your diet. Kombucha, kimchi, kefir, sauerkraut and live cultured yoghurt all contain beneficial bacteria. Get a good amount of sleep and minimise stress. Stress has a very detrimental effects on your microbiome. In some countries when you are prescribed an antibiotic you are given a probiotic to take alongside it to replenish your gut flora.    BEST MOMENTS ‘We are going to get deep here. Does the microbe live on and with us or do we live around the microbiome?’ ‘Eat a diet that includes a wide variety of fresh vegetables, legumes, pulses, fruits and foods that generally are high in natural fibre.’ ‘Just a quick mention that is that every time we take antibiotics it not only clears the infection we are looking to get rid of, it also wipes our microbiome as well. This can lead to a potential overgrowth of bad bacteria such a candida into areas we don’t want it.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://youtube.com/channel/UCQXAka99a6MdZexeEJaMZbAhttps://m.facebook.com/elevatehealthuk/https://www.elevatehealthuk.com/https://instagram.com/elevate_healthuk?utm_medium=copy_link ABOUT THE HOST TOM BUTTERFIELD I have always been interested in sports, unfortunately injuries and poor training decisions curtailed my dream of becoming a professional football player.
