What is the Gut Microbiome?
Did you know that your gut can carry up to two kilograms of friendly bacteria and other microscopic living things? There are over 1,000 species of the tens of trillions of small organisms that live in your gut. However, most of us don’t appreciate what a vital role these gut microbiotas play in digestion and overall health.
These microbes aren’t just hanging out—they have a profound and direct impact on our health.
Most of the microbes in your body exist in your intestines, and they are commonly known as the gut microbiome.
The beneficial bacteria in your gut are largely responsible for important body functions and have the capability to affect your body’s mineral and vitamin absorbency, digestion, hormone regulation, immune response, and the body’s ability to get rid of toxins. What’s more, the gut bacteria aid the production of vitamins that boost the body’s immunity.
Gut microbes have an influence on other organs and tissues outside the gut as well with complex communication networks. In fact, they help regulate the function of the brain, muscle tissue, heart and more.
So what happens when the microbiome is disrupted?
Naturally, when the microbiome is disrupted the processes typically regulated, are disrupted, and this shows in different ways including a weakened immune system, a foggy brain, and more. In more severe cases a disrupted gut can lead to the development of chronic conditions.
This is why it makes sense to support your gut health, because it’s literally at the core of your overall health.
