HEALTH
A gut feeling ABOUT PREBIOTICS
By Darren Portelli, CEO/Founder Crazy D’s Sparkling Prebiotic Soda Labs
If you have a gut feeling that balance is important in your life, you’re right. Health experts love guts - the digestive tract including the stomach and the intestines. And the profound connections they’ve made between gut health and overall wellness prove the importance of supporting and maintaining a balanced microbiome - all those microorganisms in your body. In fact, many studies point to the fact that gut homeostasis relies on bacterial diversity. And what is that? According to Dr. Melissa Conrad Stoppler, “Homeostasis is a healthy state maintained by constant adjustment of biochemical and physiological pathways”. Fortunately, our gut is already home to trillions (yes, you read that right, trillions) of natural and healthy bacteria belonging to thousands of different species. Nourishing these beneficial species can boost immune function, increase mental wellness, sharpen focus and improve nutrient absorption while reducing inflammation, cholesterol and fatigue.
