]]> Antibiotics are often the first line of defense to kill bacteria and help us feel better when we have an infection, but did you know that our bodies are also full of good bacteria that play an important role in health and well-being? Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that live in our gut and support a variety of functions, such as digestion and immunity. While we should already have plenty of good bacteria living in our digestive tracts, there are also certain benefits that can come with taking a probiotic supplement.

Improved Digestive Health

Probiotic supplements aid in maintaining a balanced gut flora, which is essential for proper digestion. They help break down food, enhance nutrient absorption, and prevent harmful bacteria from thriving in the intestines. This can alleviate common digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea, promoting a healthier digestive system.

Strengthened Immune System

Approximately 70% of our immune system resides in our gut, and the gut microbiome supports immunity by stimulating the production and activity of immune cells. Regular intake of probiotic supplements has been linked to a reduced risk of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to maintain a strong immune system.

Enhanced Mental Well-Being

The gut and brain are closely connected through the gut-brain axis, and probiotics have been shown to have a significant impact on our mental health. Some studies suggest that taking a probiotic supplement can regulate mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by positively influencing gut-brain communication.

The process introduces gut-friendly probiotics into kombucha, as the SCOBY eats up the sugar from the fruit leaving you with a moderately sweet drink. But is it as healthy as everything thinks? Here are all the health benefits of kombucha.

Probiotics work wonders for your gut and when you consume kombucha you are giving the probiotics a faster route to your gut to improve the growth of good bacteria, to help with your digestion and immune system.

Kombucha is essentially black or green tea which is known for being an amazing source of antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of diseases.

Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease

Kombucha has been found to increase the levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce the levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) due to the green tea elements.

Recent studies have suggested that up to 80% of people in the Western world suffer from digestive issues at some time in their lives. Probiotics are supposed to alleviate these symptoms. So, what’s the big deal with probiotics?

Unhealthy Bacteria

Recent studies have shown that many digestive problems are linked to the excessive presence of bad bacteria in the gut. This can cause pain, cramping, bloating, and inadequate digestion of nutrients.

Healthy Bacteria

Probiotics are good bacteria that can help counteract the effects of bad bacteria if they are introduced into the gut.

Good Gut Flora

Increasing the good bacteria in the gut will improve your gut’s flora. This will make it a healthy and optimal environment for digesting food and distributing nutrients around the body.

Health Benefits

A healthy gut will improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety, aid nutrient absorption, help the muscles relax, and enhance athletic performance.

Prebiotics

But unfortunately, it’s not always as simple as introducing probiotics into the gut. Sometimes the bad bacteria remain or kill off the good bacteria. This is why we also need prebiotics. These are the nutrients that the good bacteria need to thrive. Introducing both prebiotics and probiotics into the gut can improve your whole health.
