Supplement Spotlight :: Mightypro & Life 9 Probiotics
While it may seem a bit strange to say, one of the most powerful things we can do for our health is to balance and support our gut! Many today consider regularly taking a high quality probiotic to be one of the core pieces to a healthy gut which in turn is a key to brain, immune, skin health and more. Think about it, everything we eat or drink is sent through our digestive system. Every.single.thing we put into our bodies to give our cells energy passes through this system, so supporting it daily can give us huge benefits!
WHY DO WE NEED PROBIOTICS?
Stress, medications, illness, sugar & processed grain consumption, and modern day chemicals all serve to deplete our natural probiotic stores.
Because your immune system starts in your gut, many consider taking a high quality probiotic to be one of the core pieces to overall health!
Dr. Mercola talks about the importance of probiotics here, and yet many of us struggle to get enough through our diet alone.
"Your body contains about 100 trillion bacteria -- more than 10 times the number of cells you have in your entire body. It's now quite clear that the type and quantity of micro-organisms in your gut interact with your body in ways that can either prevent or encourage the development of many diseases. The ideal ratio between the bacteria in your gut is 85 percent "good" and 15 percent "bad."
BUT not all probiotics are created equally, and unfortunately, the options at the pharmacy counter are less than desirable. We want a source of good bacteria that can easily be absorbed, is diverse yet doesn’t interact with each other or endogenous bacteria, and is potent enough to make a difference in our health! This is why we love Life 9 and MightyPro from Young Living!
