When the gut ecosystem is balanced, our gut microbiome thrives and promotes healthy, beneficial activities. Through them, we are able to digest a variety of foods and fight off pathogens threatening our health – and in turn we offer them a safe, friendly environment with consistent access to nutrients each day. Together, our gut microbiome forms a symbiotic relationship with its host: us. In some cases, they even convert certain metabolites into beneficial nutrients we would never have been able to use. Just like how we must consume many essential nutrients through our diet to make sure our body operates to its full potential, the microbes living within our small and large intestine help breakdown more complex components making them more easily absorbable. Our bodies have evolved over time to be efficient machines, but even then, there is only so much we can do. If you’re not familiar with just how essential bacteria and other microbes are to your gastrointestinal health, consider this: many of the foods you consume each day can only be partially digested, but with the help of our gut microbiome – that increases tenfold.

Still working on this one, but the truth is I feel better, and less bloated when I drink more water. More exercise-more water! I do make myself have water with all of my meals and try my best to not drink anything else when I’m thirsty.
