fantastically useful bacteria.



                 We’re used to thinking of bacteria as being harmful. But over 90% of

                 the bacteria in a healthy gut perform functions that keep you alive. 


                 They do things for you that your body itself simply cannot d o.



                 When healthy gut bacteria dominate our guts – and unhealthy gut
                 bacteria are kept to a minimum – we are at our healthiest and

                 happiest.



                 When this balance is disturbed we get ill. If it’s disturbed for long
                 enough, we get very ill.



                 Here are just a few functions gut bacteria carry out for us:


                    They directly ayect on our moods and emotions

                    They manage our growth from childhood, to adulthood, to old age
                    They strongly regulate our weight (food cravings come from bad

                    gut bacteria, not greed!)
                    They eliminate toxins that our body cannot handle, preventing an

                    overwhelm of blood poisons
                    They extract essential, life-preserving vitamins from food that our
                    body simply cannot access – and which we can’t survive without



                 Good bacteria literally keeps us alive. So we need it to be in the best

                 shape possible.


                         Why ? What does poor gut heal th mean?

                 If the number of good bacteria are reducing then bad bacteria gain

                 an upper-hand in your gut.


                 Given enough time the damage they cause to your body can be bad,

                 then severe – then fatal.



                 Conditions that are directly linked to poor gut health include:



                     diabetes                                     heart disease
