Three Ways To A Healthier Gut A healthy diet should result in a well-functioning digestive system but not only do we avoid this good advice but our work lifestyle may not help. A job that involves sitting most of the day at a desk in front of a computer screen does not encourage a healthy digestion. Just like your pet dog it takes exercise to keep the system flowing properly. One of the most obvious clues that all is not well is when there is an outbreak of the yeast candida albicans. This microorganism lives on our skin and in the lining of the mouth and intestines where it is usually controlled by opposing bacteria.
The main problem with identifying an outbreak of candida is the fact that it manifests itself in so many dozens of ways that it is frequently misdiagnosed.
Your doctor may treat you for any one of the signs that could easily be taken on their own and not linked to candida. For instance a lack of energy or constant headaches, constipation or unusual joint pain can all be seen as isolated problems that may or may not have anything to do with candida.
Sometimes the only way to find out is to take a blood sample and send it away for analysis to see if there are any candida albicans microorganisms in it.
For whatever reason, poor diet, work stress or fatigue the good bacteria that keep candida under control may be in short supply in the digestive system. Adding known good strains of bacteria is often achieved with taking probiotics. This may be in the form of live yoghurt or the drink Kefir.
There is some controversy about the effectiveness of taking probiotics this way and the argument against is mainly to do with the fact anything taken orally must obviously pass through the highly acidic juices in the stomach.
Very little bacteria survives in that environment so a clever time-release supplement like Threelac will clearly have an advantage as it is released in the small intestines.
This product acts as a gentle laxative and not only encourages growth of the healthy three bacteria of Bacillus Coagulans, bacillus Subtilis and Enterococcus Faecalis but in so doing is in a stronger position to surround and destroy excess candida organisms.
On this subject of probiotics and a healthy digestive system a close friend recently underwent seven hours of back surgery and whilst recovering over four days in hospital was encouraged to take amongst other medicines including strong intravenously fed pain killers, some strong laxative.
If you have a general anaesthetic over such a long time apparently the bowels need encouragement to operate properly. This friend pointed out that he would stick with his daily diet that included a glass of homemade Kefir, a probiotic made and drunk in the East for hundreds of years.
Sure enough, his digestive system and visits to the lavatory were no less infrequent than they were before the operation.
