Does it seem like everyone you know is getting sick with the flu? Before you rush to get a vaccine, read about the one natural, easy change you can make in your diet to heal your gut and strengthen your immunity.

Do you know the secret to obtaining a strong, balanced immune system? Here’s a hint: It’s not found in antibacterial gels, flu vaccines or other quick fixes.

You may be surprised to learn that they key to feeling great and combating illness is found in the “core” of your body.

It’s time you start paying more attention to your gut!

Digestive health is directly linked to your immunity. Today, in our hectic, modern world, we face many challenges to maintaining the beneficial microflora that keep your gut functioning well and help ward off illness, like the flu.
But it wasn’t always like this!
Our diet and lifestyles changed dramatically in the last century:

With the advent of “convenient” processed foods in the 1950s and later, with the spread of globalization, our eating habits changed dramatically.

• Instead of getting our food from known sources, preparing meals and sitting down to eat, we morphed into a culture of fast, on-the-go consumption and lost our connection with nutrition and our bodies.
• With massive supermarkets, refined foods and an increase of toxins, we forgot many of the habits that our ancestors practiced for creating strong physical and digestive health.
• Today, we may live longer, but not necessarily better. In many ways, the quality of life has gone by the wayside. Many people put up with feeling “only OK,” and suffer from sluggishness, weight gain, lack of energy, stomach pain, dull skin, and compromised health.

Strong Immunity Is Linked to Strong Digestive Health

Have your recently become more aware of how your digestive health affects your overall feeling of wellness?

Well, the medical mainstream has finally caught on to what we at Body Ecology have been teaching for decades...your gut is responsible for 70% of your immunity.

So it’s not surprising that many mainstream companies have been jumping on the probiotic bandwagon and advertising the immunity-boosting benefits of probiotic-rich fermented foods and drinks.
But do you truly understand the relationship among probiotics, digestive health and stronger immunity?

A recent panel of scientists and opinion leaders in immunology, respiratory medicine, pediatrics and gastroenterology concluded that the connection between immune health and gut health is “not too obscure for consumers, but work needs to be done on identifying the mechanisms involved.”^[i]

We know that it’s difficult to change your eating and lifestyle habits if you’re not fully committed.
That’s why we’re here to help you understand why a few simple changes make a world of difference!
Tips For Improving Your Immunity

There are many natural ways to boost your immunity and protect your body from sickness.
Start simple with this one easy addition to your diet: probiotic rich fermented foods and drinks! Consuming fermented foods and drinks, like raw cultured vegetables and probiotic liquids, is the singular best way to help improve your immunity.

Here’s why fermented foods and drinks are so good for you:

• The beneficial bacteria and yeast (probiotics) in probiotic liquids and real, raw cultured vegetables, like those made with our Culture Starter, are live and active. The probiotics in fermented foods and drinks increase the bioavailability of the nutrients in all the foods you eat by hundreds of times. Fermentation also pre-digests the nutrients for you.
• Fermented foods and drinks are far better than supplements and many mass-produced products (like yogurt), which claim high numbers of CFUs (colony forming units), but don't always offer the types or combinations of probiotics that are ideally suited to human intestines.^[ii]
• Fermentation does not use heat. Your unpasteurized fermented foods and drinks retain their vital enzymes, nutrients and amino acids that can otherwise be destroyed by heat in the pasteurization process of other probiotic foods, like yogurt.
• Besides helping to heal your digestive tract and boost your immunity, thousands of people who consume fermented foods and drinks have reported added benefits like weight loss, increased energy, and beautiful, clear skin!
