Lung health revelation points to surprising ‘belly cure’ [Connect the dots!]
Maybe you’re a little on the older side…
Or maybe you’re a little on the heavier side.
Respiratory symptoms… including chronic cough and wheezing… have been linked to BOTH “old age” and obesity!
And both groups are particularly VULNERABLE to upper respiratory tract infections, too.
But a new study on older folks… and folks with a high BMI… shows a surprising way to support respiratory health.
And here’s the SHOCKER…
It’s WITHOUT inhalers… and WITHOUT drugs!
Connecting ALL the dots
You’ve read right here in eAlert about the gut-brain axis… or how the flora in your gut can influence what’s going on in your head!
I’m talking about how taking prebiotics could BOOST your mood… and how taking probiotics could BOOST your brain health.
That’s just for starters.
As it turns out, your gut microbiome is like “mission control” for MANY aspects of your health!
Today, I’d like to share with you another gut connection – one you may have NEVER heard of before.
It’s called the “gut-lung axis“…
And it’s why supplementing with certain types of beneficial bacteria can BANISH breathing troubles and SUPPORT respiratory health.
In a recently published study out of London, 80% of folks age 45 and older who took probiotics remained SYMPTOM-FREE for the first 50 days of the trial.
Compare that to the group that DIDN’T take probiotics – HALF of whom had experienced respiratory symptoms by that point.
Actually, it took only 2 weeks for there to be a STARK contrast between the two groups… even though BOTH started out with ZERO symptoms!
Now, this may have A LOT to do with how gut health influences immune health…
And how taking probiotics can help FIGHT OFF infections and BEAT BACK allergies.
But research so far suggests that your gut microbiome may actually ZERO IN on certain lung cells…
Impacting how they talk to each other… and how they respond to infection-causing pathogens, like viruses.
There’s even more…
Because taking probiotics could also help REDUCE obesity… therefore helping make you LESS susceptible to respiratory infections!
Now, the specific probiotic used in the study I just mentioned was a proprietary blend called Lab4P… which contains a total of 50 billion CFUs of multiple strains of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, including…
- Lactobacillus acidophilus,
- Lactobacillus plantarum
- Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, and
- Bifidobacterium bifidum.
But you can look for a probiotic supplement from any quality maker you trust – as long as it contains an equivalent number of CFUs and of some of the same or similar beneficial bacterial strains.
