Unlock Your Potential with Optimal Zinc.
Zinc absorption can be influenced by several factors, including excess sweating, aging, the consumption of casein in milk and calcium, high iron and copper levels, elevated cadmium levels, and the presence of phytates in foods like cereals, corn, and rice. If you recognize these deficiency signs in yourself, consider boosting your zinc intake by incorporating zinc-rich foods like lentils, chickpeas, cashews, walnuts, sesame seeds, spinach, mushrooms, and quinoa into your diet.
The Differences Between SIBO & IMO
Navigating the complex world of gut health? Let's differentiate between SIBO and IMO. SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) refers to an excess of bacteria in the small intestine, often causing symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort. IMO (Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth) is an overgrowth of specific archaea in the gut that produce methane, which can slow down intestinal transit and lead to constipation. Both can impact digestive health, but stem from different microbial culprits.
Things That Cause Collagen Breakdown
Collagen supplements are a hot beauty trend promising to keep your skin looking young. For the most part, these claims are not backed up with credible scientific evidence. Collagen is a protein that’s found in our connective tissue, cartilage, bones and tendons. It helps to keep our skin looking young and our nails and joints strong. Collagen naturally breaks down with age but the rate of that process varies. Genetics definitely play a role, however there are other factors also at play.
Probiotics For Inflammation
Did you know that probiotics are not only used for treating gut-related conditions? Probiotics also support numerous conditions not directly relating to the gastrointestinal tract. These include type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, anxiety, depression, endometriosis, eczema and autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis, fibromyalgia and lupus to name a few. These are the top strains that can help reduce inflammation and keep disease at bay.
What can we expect when we heal the gut?
A healthy gut and, specifically, a balanced, diverse microbiome (gut bacteria) is fundamental to all aspects of health, including mental well-being and systemic inflammation. No matter your symptoms, if your digestive system is not working well, you may suffer far-reaching consequences throughout your whole body. In fact, science has shown us that the trillions of bacteria in the gut could have profound effects on the brain and may be tied to a whole host of disorders. #goodnesslover #gut
Signs of Poor Immunity
Did you know there are actually four different immune systems in the body? - Microbiome in the GI tract - Kupffer cells in the liver - White blood cells found all over your body - Glia cells in the brain As our immune system is so systemic, having a poorly functioning immune system affects various organ systems and can lead to body-wide symptoms. If you’re showing a number of these symptoms, perhaps your immune system and your gut need some addressing. #goodnesslover #immunesystem
