Probiotics: Bacteria for Good Health

You may have heard the term “probiotics” lately. Probiotics are bacteria with the potential to provide profound health benefits. Dr Hobson confirms that these “good bacteria” can play starring roles in your picture of optimal health.

There's a battle going on in your body, every minute of the day. As part of your immune system, millions of microscopic bacteria constantly defend your body. According to Dr. Hobson, the balance between the white hats – good bacteria, or probiotics, and the black hats – disease causing pathogens and viruses, is surprisingly delicate.

The World Health Organisation defines probiotics as “live organisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” Dr Hobson agrees that science has proven that common types of bacteria can bestow myriad advantages.

I will have more information for you next week – but one piece of advice for you is this – our Nature's Boost has 13 strains of lactobacillus Pro-biotic's in it, one daily serve gives you a daily dose.

Digestive disorders
 
Uncomfortable, inconvenient and at times embarrassing, some digestive disorders are also potentially harmful to health if left undiagnosed for long periods of time. Getting the right advice early will help restore you to proper functioning and enhance your sense of wellbeing.
 

What are the main digestive disorders?
Constipation, diarrhoea and indigestion caused by gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) are among the most common digestive problems.

It’s important to obtain a proper diagnosis if you think you may have a digestive disorder.
 

Common digestive problems and solutions

Constipation - Symptoms:

  • no bowel movement for several days
  • hard and dry bowel movements

Common causes

  • lack of dietary fibre and fluids
  • irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Treatments

  • Eat more fibre rich foods such as fruit, vegetables, whole-grain cereals.
  • Drink plenty of fluids each day, particularly water.
  • If constipation is related to IBS, see an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) for individualised advice.
  • Take Natures Boost 1/2 teaspoon once a day.

Diarrhoea - Symptoms:

  • frequent, loose or liquid stools
  • abdominal pain

Common causes

  • infections from contaminated food or water
  • inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease
  • poor food absorption, as in Coeliac disease

Treatments

  • Avoid very hot or very cold liquids, coffee, alcohol or soft drinks containing caffeine.
  • Eat bland, non-fatty foods that are easily digested (such as crackers and dry toast). These foods should only be re-introduced as diarrhoea improves.
  • Take Natures Boost 1/2 teaspoon once a day.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - Symptoms:

  • bloating and abdominal pain
  • diarrhoea
  • constipation

Common causes

  • stress
  • high-fat or fibre-rich foods

Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) - Symptoms:

GORD is a common cause of indigestion which occurs when acidic stomach juices are regurgitated into the oesophagus (the tube leading from the throat to the stomach).
Symptoms include inflammation and pain (heartburn).

Common causes

  • poor tone in the ring of muscle at the end of the oesophagus and increased abdominal pressure due to pregnancy or obesity

Treatments

  • eating small frequent meals, with fluids in between rather than with meals.
  • increased dietary fibre.
  • avoid foods or drinks that exacerbate symptoms.
  • Take Natures Boost 1/2 teaspoon once a day.


Crohn’s disease - Symptoms:

Crohn's disease is a long-term inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Early symptoms include abdominal pain and diarrhoea.

The cause of Crohn's disease remains unknown although intensive research is continuing.

Treatments

  • A diet low in fat, bulky fibrous rich foods, alcohol, spicy foods and milk products may assist.
