Probiotics News & Gut Health Tips

We've all experienced some sort of inflammation in our lives. But it is the symptoms of gut inflammation that seem to be the hardest to attribute to the underlying condition, and to manage on an on-going basis.

It is winter again and the time when people seem to get sick. But why is this – is it really from being out in the freezing wind and rain, getting wet and cold?

Experts say that even though you are more likely to get sick during the winter months, it may not actually be because of getting cold and wet...

Inflammation is caused by the body's immune response to an irritant. It is how your body reacts when it's trying to protect itself from something harmful, like germs or injuries.  Inflammation is an important part of your immune system's defence and when inflammation happens, more blood flows to the area, making it look red and feel warm.

It's not uncommon to find ourselves facing moments of discomfort, subtle disturbances in our gut health or other indications of “not feeling 100%”.

This is often when you know it's time to start improving your gut health, and incorporating a gut health supplement such as probiotics into your daily routine is a great way to do this.

The change of season can often mean the onset of symptoms for seasonal hay fever or allergic rhinitis sufferers.

However, before you reach for anti-histamine medications, there are a number of foods, nutrients and herbs that are extremely beneficial for alleviating hay fever symptoms.

As summer looms closer, many turn to a detox or cleanse to farewell winter.

Whether it is to support the body after a winter of comfort foods, a general cleanse of the digestive system or support the body’s immune system, we all benefit from a regular annual detox.
