The heart and probiotics

Is there no end to the benefits of hosting a good composition of healthy gut bacteria? Very recent research shows new
evidence of the benefits of a diverse microbiome for vascular flexibility. Researchers assessed the arterial pressure of 617 middle-aged females, and assessed their microbiome composition to determine the link between microbial patterns and vascular health.

Outcomes revealed that poor microbiome diversity was strongly correlated with arterial stiffness, independent of other
drivers of metabolic syndrome. Mounting research shows a long stretch of benefits in nurturing the microbiome. Pre and probiotics not only mitigate cardiovascular risk, they also help keep our 84 trillion cells of microbiome diversity in good order.

Fermented foods, kefir, yoghurt, sauerkraut, tempeh are all delicious examples or pre-biotic foods. And always ensure your probiotic is refrigerated.
