Did you know that 70% of our immune system lives in the gut? That’s why when our gut feels out of balance, we start to feel it in our day-to-day health. The gut is composed of different kinds of bacteria that contribute to our gut microbiome. We often hear that cultured and pickled foods are good for the gut, and that’s because they’re packed with probiotics. If you’re looking to support your immune system this season, read on to learn how probiotics can help lead the way.
The connection between your gut and immune system.
The gut is composed of trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi and more that make up the gut microbiome. While some of these bacteria are good for you, others can be harmful if there are too many of them. That’s why it’s important to maintain a good balance of bacteria to keep the gut healthy.
But when your gut microbiome is out of balance, it can cause inflammation and impact the immune system. In order for your immune system to work efficiently, it’s constantly communicating with your gut through hormone signals. When harmful invaders, like toxins or viruses, enter your system, the gut lets your immune cells (T-cells) know how to respond. When the communication is disrupted, it can slow down your immune response and may cause the body to start attacking itself instead of the invaders.
Fostering a healthy gut microbiome.
Inviting good bacteria can be a great way to help maintain balance in your gut microbiome. When you’re looking to include probiotics in your daily health routine, keep an eye out for the strain Bifidobacteria, which is known to help support the immune system. Here are a few options you can reach for to support your family’s gut health.
