IMMUNITY AND DIGESTIVE HEALTH

The Road to Health Is Paved With Good Intestines

The process of digestion is very complex and controlled by several factors. Digestion is the metabolic process that converts foodstuffs within the body for use, and the increased popularity of fast and processed foods has serious repercussions for the digestive system. These foods are often stripped of essential nutrients and natural enzymes and may lack the necessary building blocks to synthesize the materials the body needs to achieve optimal health. The digestive system has the crucial role of breaking down all that is providing the body with the nutrients and energy that it needs to operate efficiently.

Challenge

When you think about your body’s front-line defense, do you think beyond your body’s cells? Have you considered your daily habits, daily stressors or environment? Your immune system is a complex system of chemicals and proteins that fight off invaders, and its function is critically dependent on your stress, sleep, diet (including supplementation) and fitness routine. Balancing your immune system through a healthy digestive system is a big step toward optimal health. Probiotics are overwhelmingly beneficial for digestive health, but can they also boost the immune system? Studies have shown that adding probiotics to your diet conveys a range of benefits for people of all ages. Some of the most commonly studied strains promote T cells and the so-called “killer cells.”*
