What\u2019s so good about the favorable flora?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">News about the importance of the microbiome is not so new.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are likely more informed about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/start-with-the-gut\/\">gut and gut<\/a> bacteria than the average Jane or Joe. The amount of research on how many areas of the body are impacted by the balance of intestinal flora (from brain to immune to hormonal to cardiovascular and so on) is staggering. Ample \u201cgood\u201d bacteria in your gut is the foundation for resolving many health issues\u2014 from allergies to anger, asthma to anxiety. Those good guys can turn your emotional and immune Blahs into spirited Ahas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We humans are made up of a lot of bacteria. And the things that affect that bacterial population, diversity, and balance are going to influence our overall health. There are a good number of factors that are key contributors, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">early colonization (how we were born, to whom we were born, where we were born, what order we were born in, if and how long we were breastfed, what toxins we were exposed to)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medication(s) through life (immunizations, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, birth control)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dietary patterns (hello daily choices!)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microbiome Heroes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, the Western diet is correlated with significantly different microbiome compositions than traditional diets were. We can now look at diets amongst distinct populations and communities and see variations in bacterial make-up. And we can shift our microbiome in just a day\u2019s worth of eating\u2026 and drinking!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we talk about eating and drinking foods that feed the microbiome, one category of foods that we all know about are the ferments. Fermented foods include sauerkraut, kimchi and other lacto-fermented veggies (pickles can count!) Miso, tempeh, natto, sourdough and yogurt. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our drinks like kombucha, kefir and vinegar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probiotic drinks can offer improved digestion, enhanced detoxification, support for sugar cravings, plus a boost of energy. Many of these drinks contain cultures that have been prized for thousands of years for improving beneficial digestive flora.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probiotic Q&amp;A<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b><i>Do I need more good bacteria?<br \/>\n<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You betcha! Contemporary culture has done a number on our good guys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And consuming our probiotic-rich foods isn\u2019t just an occasional endeavor. It\u2019s a practice we\u00a0 need to embrace often and repeatedly, because the population in your gut should be very diverse for your optimal health outcomes. Over time, we\u2019ve lost a lot of the microbial diversity that acts as our best defense, leaving us more vulnerable to overgrowth from opportunistic or pathogenic bacterial strains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>If I\u2019m taking a probiotic supplement do I still need to consume fermented foods and beverages?<br \/>\n<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s great to do both. It\u2019s difficult to know how active your probiotic pills are after they pass through the digestive terrain. When probiotics are consumed through food and drink they\u2019re more readily absorbed and utilized by your body. And while more isn\u2019t always better, consistency is key.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Are probiotic drinks always sugar, gluten and dairy free?<br \/>\n<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good question! I\u2019m so glad you asked. It\u2019s important to read labels. Some of the flavored kefirs contain cane sugar, and most kombucha is made with cane sugar from the start. (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jun<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is like kombucha but made with honey instead of sugar.) When looking at kefirs, be sure to choose a coconut kefir if you are dairy-free. Gluten shouldn\u2019t be an issue in these fermented drinks, but again, always read actual ingredients on your labels if you are aiming to steer clear of a certain food or food category!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I choose to stay away from both refined sugar and cow dairy, so I always read through the ingredients and make no assumptions when I pick up something new to me. And if you\u2019re making your own fermented drinks, A) brownie points! and B) you get to choose your own adventure (and ingredients) to meet your unique needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>What about other purposes, besides drinking it straight-up?<br \/>\n<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure! You can use your probiotic drinks in a number of ways. Try them in smoothies. (Add at the end of the blending to keep those delicate cultures alive and well!) Use unflavored varieties to soak grains before cooking. Consume the coconut based kefirs after a workout to receive the benefits of the good flora along with the great electrolytes provided by the coconut water. Or make a \u201cfloat\u201d by dropping some store-bought or homemade coconut ice cream into the fizzy drink!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These drinks are perfect for hot late-summer days and back-to-school immune support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, raise a glass and guzzle some good guys for your gut!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just what does it mean to drink your probiotics?
