Talking About Health And Medical Care

For many, many years, people have understood that there is a connection between what you eat and your health. In fact, Hippocrates even said that all disease begins in the gut. Why? Because the gut contains more than 100 trillion organisms, which constitutes 3/4 of our immune system. These organisms should consist of a balance of good and bad bacteria. For optimal health, the gut should also have an adequate amount of immunoglobulins and other substances. Fortunately, this can be achieved with help from dietary supplements. Here's what to look for. 

Probiotics 

You need good flora (bacteria) to fight the bad flora that can enter your intestinal system and cause symptoms such as excessive gas, constipation, diarrhea, and bad breath. An imbalance of gut flora may lead to hormonal issues, respiratory problems, high cholesterol, vaginal infections, anemia, vitamin B deficiencies, bladder infections, osteoporosis, neurological issues, and others. Therefore, it's a good idea to get your gut flora under control and maintain a good balance. The reason for this is because healthy gut flora produce substances that help keep the linings of the intestines strong. Without good flora, the intestinal tract can easily become damaged. Take a probiotic dietary supplement to restore and maintain a healthy balance of flora. 

Colostrum 

Immunoglobulins are essential in the body as they identify and bind to bad bacteria, parasites, allergens, fungi, viruses, and yeast. Essentially , immunoglobulins protect the body from invaders. You may recognize the term antibodies, which is also used to describe these substances that are important to good health. Someone who has an immunoglobulin deficiency is more likely to get infections. If you seem to become ill more frequently than others, your body may be unable to produce enough immunoglobulins. Fortunately, there are dietary supplements available on the market that can improve your immunoglobulins, some of which are derived from bovine colostrum, such as Fortizel. 

Zinc Carnosine 

Zinc carnosine is believed to improve the integrity of the mucosal lining of the gut, which can help reduce the risks of health conditions such as leaky gut, gastritis, and ulcers. This substance has anti-oxidant properties that also help to improve and maintain the integrity of the mucosal lining. Additionally, zinc carnosine stimulates growth and cell migration, which helps the body to heal itself. This is important if your intestinal lining has been damaged over the years by medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. 

Before beginning any dietary supplement regimen, speak with your family doctor if you have been diagnosed with a medical condition.
