When most people think of probiotics, they think of bacteria capsules that aid in digestion and bowel movements. However, that is actually a tiny portion of what they do.

Most people don’t know this, but your gut is home to 80% of your immune system. In fact, your body’s overall health is directly determined by the health of your gut and the type of bacteria living there. Neglecting it can lead to many health situations down the road, each much more uncomfortable than mere indigestion.

You see, your gut exists to eliminate toxins. It’s the primary detox pathway of your body. And good bacteria (probiotics) are what help make this possible. But, if you’re lacking these good bacteria and have an overabundance of bad (disease-causing) bacteria, your gut cannot eliminate the toxins in it. This is a big problem for your gut. The toxins have to go somewhere.

And they do — your body reabsorbs them.

This condition is called auto-intoxication. These toxins then build up in your liver, your lymphatic system, and your skin. They’re actually poisoning you.

The best solution to solve this is a high-quality probiotic that contains a variety of live probiotics and soil-based organisms (spore biotics) to help you recondition your gut and support the growth of new, good bacteria.

Unfortunately, there aren’t very many out there. That’s why I developed the new Perfect Immune Defense Probiotic. With 40 billion live cultures, 11 different strains of bacteria, including two that are spore-based, all in a digestive-resistant capsule to ensure it makes it to your lower GI tract without getting destroyed by stomach acid. This new probiotic truly is everything your gut needs to build and maintain optimal health.

The health of your body is directly affected by the health of your gut. If you’re not taking a really good probiotic, you need to start. I highly recommend you get Perfect Immune Defense Probiotics, take them every day, and set yourself on the road to a healthier gut and a healthier life.

One hundred years ago, we lived off the land. We didn’t have GMOs or pesticides, and no one looked for “organic” food because what else was there?

We didn’t have petrochemicals entering our bodies through the air that we breathed or the water we drank, and especially not through the food we ate. And there were no processed foods, deficient in nutrients and live enzymes, and stuffed with sugars.

But today, despite our best efforts, we do. And these things affect the bacteria in our gut, the primary detox pathway of our body. In fact, they actually determine the type of bacteria living there.

Today, if you’re not regularly consuming fermented vegetables or taking a high-quality, multi-strain probiotic containing not only “regular” probiotics but also spore biotics for gut reconditioning, you’re putting your health at risk. Remember, your body’s health starts in the gut.

The health of your gut, and the type of bacteria in it, directly affects your overall health. And what you eat, combined with the toxins in your environment, determine the type of bacteria living in your gut – whether it’s good or bad bacteria.

This is very important.

Now, one of the keys to improving the beneficial bacteria in your gut is carefully choosing what you eat.

If you eat high amounts of sugar and processed foods, you’re going to help the disease-causing bacteria increase by feeding them the nutrients they need to survive.

If you eat healthy, organic foods and vegetables, you’ll cause the beneficial bacteria to grow and populate. It won’t solve the problem, but it will definitely help.

You can also eat fermented vegetables or yogurts if you make them at home from a good, live culture. But not store-bought yogurt, as there are almost no living bacteria after the yogurt is pasteurized (as in commercial yogurts).

But Do I Need Probiotics?

Well, do you regularly consume processed or sugary foods?

Have you used medications, anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, acid-blocking drugs, or steroids?

Have you been exposed to toxins or heavy metals through air pollution, water, or the food you eat?

All of these things have an effect on the bacteria in your gut. In fact, they determine what kind of bacteria you have in your gut. And the kind of bacteria you have living in your gut can determine your overall health.

How important are these bacteria? You were first exposed to probiotics the day you were born.

On the way through the birth canal, a baby receives bacteria from their mother. This is actually the event that starts bacterial colonization in the infant’s own intestinal tract. This is good bacteria –  bacteria that helps build your immune system and cleanse your body of toxins.

In fact, this is so important that new research now shows that many infants born through cesarean sections have reduced health after birth, likely because they were not exposed to their mother’s bacteria in the birth canal.

Then, as we grow up, we’re faced with many threats to these beneficial bacteria, from processed foods and sugars to chlorinated water and environmental toxins.

This is why probiotics have become so necessary and have such a powerful effect on your gut health and overall health.

The health of your body is directly affected by the health of your gut. If you’re not taking a really good probiotic, you need to start. I highly recommend you get Perfect Immune Defense Probiotics, take it every day, and set yourself on the road to a healthier gut and a healthier life.
