The importance of your gut biome to your overall health is something that scientific research has only recently brought to light. The microbiome is the healthy bacteria in your body and your gut. When your gut microbiome is balanced, you stay healthy and you have a lot of energy. Unfortunately this healthy bacteria is being attacked daily by poor diet, nutrient deficient foods, environmental toxins, and lifestyle stress. Signs of poor biome are gas, bloating, inability to lose weight, poor sleep, hormonal imbalances, poor concentration, joint pain, blood sugar imbalance, inflammation, depression and anxiety to list a few. On the upside, there is so much you can do to repair and help your biome to heal and restore good health. These include removing the sugar and processed foods from your diet and replacing them with vegetables and low-sugar fruits. Your gut will thank you!
