In your gut live trillions of bacteria. Together, they weigh as much as 1.5 kilograms! This is also called the gut microbiome or gut flora. The gut microbiome consists of 400-500 different types of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeasts) whose composition is as unique as a fingerprint. The composition is partly in your control, especially through what you eat and have a big impact on how you feel. They also keep your intestinal wall healthy and have a great influence on your immune system. How you can have a positive influence on this will be further explained in this blog.
When the leaves begin to fall from the trees again, it is wise to pay extra attention to your immune system to keep out invaders and prevent a winter dip. After all, it is not for nothing to get the flu shot during this period. Paying extra attention to certain vitamins and minerals (in addition to, of course, getting enough sleep and minimizing stress) will ensure that you stay fit during the dark days. This blog highlights a number of nutrients that help prevent that pesky runny nose and overall lower resistance.
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, and are the building blocks of optimal health. Because our bodies only need small amounts of each nutrient, amounts are often represented as milligrams and micrograms. Vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, D and E, play a vital role in strengthening our immune system, promoting healthy skin and supporting our senses. Minerals, including calcium, magnesium and iron, are essential for building strong bones, regulating heart rate and blood pressure, and promoting muscle function.
Except for vitamin D and vitamin K, our bodies cannot produce vitamins and minerals on their own. Therefore, it is essential to make sure we get enough of these nutrients through a healthy diet.
