05 May Probiotics: Nurturing A Healthy Gut
Poor digestion and gastrointestinal related-issues affect almost all of us at some point in time, as a result of our unhealthy lifestyle habits including having irregular meals, skipping meals and not maintaining a balanced diet.
One of the most immediate solutions that cross our mind is probably to consume some form of probiotics, which we commonly understand as “good bacteria” that can improve our digestion. What exactly are Probiotics, and how are they beneficial to our gut health?
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the human body when consumed in appropriate amounts[1]. They consist mainly of good bacteria and yeast that are naturally present in fermented foods, or in the human body. It is not surprising that yogurt, kimchi, miso, and sourdough bread are among the healthiest products in their respective food categories.
This may not be the first time you hear this. We constantly have good and bad bacteria living in different parts of our body such as the gut, mouth, skin, lungs and urinary tract. The good bacteria help to fight off the bad bacteria and keep our body in balance. Under certain circumstances that trigger our body to go off balance, our immunity system weakens and bad bacteria outgrow the good bacteria. As a result, we may experience a range of problems like infection and inflammation. By consuming appropriate amounts of probiotics, we enhance the colony of good bacteria to support our immune system in bringing our body back to balance.
Probiotics have been proven to help with many common conditions such as constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)[2]. In fact, 1 in every 10 Singaporeans is affected by IBS alone[3].
Integrating Probiotics into Our Daily Lives
While maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables will keep our immunity in check, it is not easy to consume enough probiotic-rich foods in our daily lives. How often do we get to eat kimchi like how the Koreans do, or drink miso soup like the Japanese? We do need to make a conscious effort in incorporating probiotics into our lifestyle. Choose sourdough bread over normal white bread for breakfast; eat a serving of low or no-sugar yogurt after meals; or add a sachet of Premium Probiotic 10 into your drinks.
