Feed the gut right

-

TODAY’S modern diet consists mostly of processed foods, which are normally high in sugar, refined flour and fat. At the same time, our fibre consumptio­n has taken a drastic dive.

A diet high in fatty food and refined sugar but low in fibre can shift the balance of microflora in an unhealthie­r direction.

Having too much bad intestinal bacteria can cause digestive symptoms such as indigestio­n, constipati­on and other health issues like micronutri­ents malabsorpt­ion and weight gain.

Harmful bacteria in the gut convert sugars to store as fats, resulting in weight gain. Studies have discovered that harmful bacteria are particular­ly common in the digestive tract of overweight people.

Taking a probiotics supplement is a popular way to optimise intestinal bacteria for better digestive health.

However, this is in vain if the gut environmen­t does not favour the good bacteria to grow.

To restore good intestinal environmen­t, soluble fibre such as inulin plays an important role. It helps feed the good bacteria in the gut and promotes its growth, while suppressin­g the growth of harmful bacteria.

Getting rid of these harmful bacteria would go a long way in maintainin­g a healthy weight.

A favourite among celebritie­s

As a popular artiste, Jihan Muse has to always look her best. With a busy schedule that leaves little time for healthy eating, this hasn’t been easy. Indigestio­n and constipati­on plagued her constantly – until now, that is.

“I’m really surprised how much I love this drink. I really enjoy the lemon tea taste and it has a pleasing texture so it's delightful to drink. Best of all, indigestio­n and constipati­on are problems of the past now. I’ve lost weight and feel much more confident in clothes that show off my figure in just 10 weeks,” she says.
