We all want to grow old and be WELL! Growing old and becoming ill or infirmed is something people don’t believe will ever happen to them. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are proliferating because of this mistaken belief. The first of this series on anti-aging will discuss the importance of Probiotics in Anti-aging. The human gut harbors a highly concentrated and diverse population of bacteria that can actually support or disfavor good health. Probiotics have been discovered to be a key factor in the anti-aging process. As your intestinal microbiome changes with aging, an imbalance in these microorganisms can lead to many age-related degenerative diseases and unhealthy aging. Abnormal shifts in the gut microbiome have been linked to age-related chronic diseases. Long-living people have a unique intestinal microbiome. We will discuss how to retard the aging process, slow it down and to help you grow old and be well.
