Prebiotics to help improve immunity!
Hey Uplifters,
We know times right now are uncertain and slightly stressful, especially in terms of our health and immunity, that's why we are super excited to share with you guys an article from sciencedaily on how a high-fiber diet can help protect our body against infections.
It is super important that we all try our best to maintain a healthy diet, positive attitude and what better way to do that then to nourish our body with prebiotic rich foods and help to create a healthy happy gut!
Below shows a study conducted by Eric Martens, Ph.D a professor from the University of Michigan, on the result of fiber deprivation on the gut in mice.
In summary, the study conducted shows the mice who received a diet that was 15% fiber from processed fruits and vegetables, found that the infection would be less likely to stick versus the mice who received no fiber in their diet.
As shown above, having fiber in your diet can protect your body against infection, as a low fiber diet can have an affect on your gut's mucus layer and your body's tendency towards diseases. Eating lots of fiber from different sources can help improve your immune system and help build a healthy happy gut!
As you can see from the study above, it is possible to improve your immune system by maintaining a healthy diet packed with prebiotics, as well as helping you build a healthy gut!
