  Gut microbiology holds a central pivotal point in maintaining good health and assist the immune system to fight the diseases. Human GI tract is estimated to be colonised by 1,000 different strains of bacteria. A healthy consortium of gut microorganisms is required to maintain homeostasis especially when usage of antibiotics alters the digestive environment, decreasing the number of good bacteria and helping the pathogens and opportunists like yeast to proliferate. What we eat is what we get. Our diet can influence the bacteria in our body, in both positive and negative ways. Nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids or dietary fibre that are consumed by the host are assimilated and converted into other metabolites by intestinal microbes. Fat rich foods and refined carbohydrates can create intestinal dysbiosis. Incorporating probiotic bacteria (Live microorganisms that show health benefits) containing rich foods in our daily diet can reap the benefits of healthy gut.
