THE GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING PROBIOTICS AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOUR GUT

They add “good” bacteria to your gut to outweigh the “bad” bacteria. Probiotics affect many aspects of the body including nutrient digestion and absorption, immunity, and much more. Probiotics aid digestion by completing the breakdown of food that was not fully digested. Probiotics also produce vitamins, including the particularly important B vitamins, which play a key role in energy metabolism. Probiotics have other roles in promoting health in your body. They can inhibit the ability of bad microbes to grow in the intestines. This can help prevent illness and disease. By producing lactic acid, certain probiotics can lower the pH of the intestinal tract, making the environment unfriendly to bad microbes and thus reducing the growth of bad microbes that can cause illness. Certain prob...

HEALTHY FOODS TO CURE ULCERS FOR GOOD

  Overview Peptic ulcer disease This disease presents as painful ulcers or sores that develop when acid in the digestive tract erodes the inner lining of the esophagus (esophageal ulcers), of the stomach (gastric ulcers), and/or of the upper section of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). Our digestive tract is coated with a protective layer of mucous that normally protects against acid from foods and beverages that we eat as well as from the acid that our stomach naturally produces. We need some acid in our digestive tract for normal digestion and the breakdown of foods. However, if the amount of acid is increased or the amount of mucous is decreased, an ulcer may develop. Several different factors can affect gut health and the balance of gastric acid, thus increasing your chances of developing or causing ulcers. A major factor is a specific bacterium known as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) which can penetrate the protective mucous lining of the stomach, where it produ...

This serious disease has seen a drastic increase in the number of Africans who are affected. Symptoms of Diabetes Initial symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, lethargy, excessive thirst, and hunger.   Understanding the Cause Every cell in the human body needs the energy to function. The body's primary energy source is glucose, a simple sugar resulting from the digestion of foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches). Glucose from the digested food circulates in the blood as a needed energy source for our cells. Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. Insulin bonds to a receptor site on the outside of cells and acts like a key to open a doorway into the cell through which glucose can ...
