Your 4 Step Guide to Reclaiming Your Microbiome

Here is your 4 step guide on how to reclaim your microbiome health.

Step # 1: Eliminate the Following From Your Routine

Eliminate or reduce the following from your daily routine:

  • A western-style diet that is rich in fat, sugar, and cholesterol
  • Stress
  • Excessive use of antibiotics
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol

Step # 2: Add More Fiber to Your Routine

The probiotic bacteria feed on fiber as a source of their food. Here are some tips on how you can increase your fiber intake:

  • Eat more fresh and raw fruits and vegetables.
  • Eat raw nuts and seeds as snacks.
  • Add a teaspoon of raw nuts or seeds to your meals, salads, and soups.
  • Add a good fiber-based supplement to your routine.

Step # 3: Fermented Foods are a Good Source of Probiotics

You can directly increase your probiotic intake by eating fermented foods. Probiotic foods are naturally rich in good bacteria. Some fermented foods include:

Yogurt (Edible)
Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus

Kefir (Drink)

A vast variety of Lactobacillus species

Kombucha (Drink)

 Gluconacetobacter and Lactobacillus spp.

Sauerkraut (Pickle)

 Mainly lactobacillus

 Kimchi (Pickle)

 Mainly lactobacillus

 Tempeh (Edible)

 Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus

Other types of Pickles

 A vast variety of Lactobacillus species

 Lasi (Drink)

 Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus


Step # 4: Add a Probiotic Supplement to Your Routine

You can add a probiotic supplement to your routine as well. The problem with most probiotic supplements is that they don’t use the right preparation and the number of bacteria is inadequate.

As per research, for a probiotic supplement to be effective, it should contain at least 5-20 billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) of bacteria.

Probiotics is one of the best organic probiotic supplements based on authentic scientific research. This supplement contains handpicked bacterial species that are scientifically proven to work.

It contains a combination of Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Lactobacillus plantarum. Furthermore, it gives your body a staggering dose of 40 billion CFU of live bacteria.

This preparation ensures that your body gets the right type of good bacteria in the right amount.  Good bacteria or probiotics are essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, regaining health and well being and must reach your intestines daily to rebalance your gut microbiome. Ensure your digestive system is balanced and functioning best with Probiotic.
