Almost 2 500 years ago, the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates stated that “All Disease Begins in the Gut” AND HE WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
We are a walking Bacteria.
It has been estimated that there are between 500 to 1000 different microbial species in the gastrointestinal tract, the greatest concentration of bacteria in the human body.
While some of these bacteria are beneficial, others may be damaging your gut causing an imbalance of intestinal microflora.
Our lifestyle is the problem.
The causes of the imbalance could be factors such as poor diet, alcohol, antibiotics, intestinal infections, stress or illness.
The imbalance can have serious negative effects on the digestive and immune systems. This is the reason the microflora in the gut must be kept in balance by sustaining the levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
This can be achieved by introducing probiotics into the digestive tract to create the correct balance of bacteria.
