Did you know that about 70-80% of your body's immune cells are located in your gut? This means that more than two-thirds of the body's immune cells reside in the gut.
Your gut isn't just for digesting stuff; it's actually a big player in keeping your immune system on point. And to keep that gut happy, you need a good mix of bacteria.
That's why it's important to pay attention to your gut health, as it can impact your overall well-being in unexpected ways. A healthy gut not only supports good digestion but also plays a role in supporting your immune system.
Here are some key points to consider:
- Gut Health and Immune System: Your gut and immune system are closely linked. Mess with one, and you might mess with the other. A diverse gut microbiome is vital for a healthy immune system.
- Foods for Gut Health: Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber can help improve your gut microbiome. Consuming fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, yogurt, and kefir can also support your gut health.
- Prebiotic Fiber: Getting enough prebiotic fiber is also essential for maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut. Foods high in prebiotic fiber include onions, garlic, asparagus, bananas, and oats. Lucky for you, we made sure Kombucha+ also contained a good amount of prebiotic fibers (just in case you needed an excuse to syp!).
So, the next time you think about boosting your immunity, remember to pay attention to your gut health.
