While most of us associate bacteria with something harmful, our bodies need bacteria to function properly. Dr. Joseph Mercola’s “The Case for Healthy Bowels: The Vital Connection Between Your Gut and Your Health” discusses how the human bowels affect a body’s overall health and the factors that contribute to healthy bowels. Mercola’s article reveals that a healthy and clean digestive system often means a healthy and clean mind and body. “The Case for Healthy Bowels” declares that the human body is home to about one hundred trillion bacteria. Wow! There are both good and bad types of bacteria included in this count, and an appropriate ratio (85% good: 15% bad) is essential to good health. For the billions of people throughout the world that deal with intestinal issues and stomach discomfort, these problems are often attributed to a disproportionate number of bad bacteria in the digestive tract. Our daily food decisions affect this ratio. Most of us are guilty of consuming processed foods: frozen dinners, fast food value meals and sweet candies and cakes that are high in sugar and trans fat. Not surprisingly, these foods wreak havoc on our digestive systems. The first step to maintaining a healthy set of bowels is making smart diet choices. Rather than a package of two cupcakes, pick up a bag of raisins. Instead of drinking an extra large soda, drink a glass of fresh squeezed juice. In addition to a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, probiotic dietary supplements help keep good bacteria alive and well in the intestinal tract. Probiotics help regulate the pH balance in your stomach, which creates an environment where good bacteria flourish. When taken daily, probiotic supplements can help keep your bowels working on a regular basis, which will help your immune system remain strong, too. Good bacteria have four important duties to perform: digest and absorb certain carbohydrates for energy, keep bad bacteria under control, prevent allergies and provide vital support to the immune system. With around 80 percent of our immune cells located in our digestive tracts, maintaining this ratio is key to a healthy lifestyle. If you are experiencing stomach problems, be sure to examine your daily food intake and explore the probiotic supplements available to help get your digestive tract on the right track.
