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.

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
