What are the lifestyle that kill your body's good bacteria:
1. Stress
Stress kills good bacteria and increases the number of bad bacteria, it also reduces microbial diversity.
2. Wine and beer
Excessive alcohol consumption can alter microbial balance.
3. Poor sleep
Sleep deprivation affects gut microbial diversity.
4. Antibiotics
They kill both the good and bad bacteria in the gut.
5. Insufficient fiber
Fiber serves as food for good bacteria to grow.
6. Sweets
High sugar intake causes potentially harmful microbes to multiply rapidly.
7. Pollution
Environmental pollution can alter the balance of the gut flora.
8. Drinking chlorinated water
Chlorine kills both good and bad bacteria in the gut.
9. Foods with artificial coloring
They are antibacterial and antifungal and thus disrupt the natural order of gut flora.
10. NSAID painkillers
They disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is one of the most extensively studied and widely used probiotic strains and interestingly, is also naturally present in our own intestines.
Three mechanisms of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
1. Suppress bad bacteria
2. Strengthen intestinal bacteria
3. Improve natural immune defence
For a probiotic to effect benefits in the body, it has to be able to adhere well to the intestinal walls. This is crucial for it to help modulate the body’s natural immune response and suppress the risk of diseases or infections.
As compared to other Lactobacillus strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is better able to adhere to the intestinal walls.
In the body, the intestinal epithelium prevents harmful organisms from entering the body and facilitates absorption of essential nutrients into the blood stream.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG helps keep the epithelial lining intact and enhances its barrier function by:
1) Supporting a healthy inflammatory response
2) Enhancing the regeneration of the intestinal mucosa
Collectively, the intestinal epithelium becomes stronger to defend against foreign ‘invaders’.
Most oral probiotics are prone to destruction by gastric acid and bile as they journey down the digestive tract, even before their beneficial activities can take effect. Although live cultures are typically coated by a capsule, they are still not protected against ambient humidity, warm temperatures or gastric acid and so cannot survive for long.
Unlike regular uncoated probiotics which are prone to destruction, FloraGG® is embedded in the core, surrounded by robust acid-resistant, bile-resistant, antioxidant, nutrient-rich and colonization layers. This provides a physical barrier to protect the probiotics against harsh conditions of the body, stress and humidity, thereby increasing the rate of intestinal colonization and keeping intestinal lining healthy.
Bioactive Organic Fiber is a scientifically proven soluble fiber which helps move food through the digestive tract to maintain digestive health and microflora balance.
