Healthcare Tips

Eat a wide variety of different plant foods

Increasingly, research is showing the importance of dietary diversity in promoting many different aspects of health including cognition, mood, weight management and a balanced microbiome. Aiming to ‘eat a rainbow’ of fruit and vegetables every day provides an accessible way to help encourage variety in your diet and is a fun challenge to set yourself and your family.

Eat plenty of foods high in prebiotic fibres

Such as garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, slightly under ripe bananas, Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus and dandelion greens, as these provide a food source for beneficial species in the gut.

Introduce beneficial species to the gut

By regularly consuming traditionally fermented foods such as kefir, live yoghurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha and miso. These tend to be particularly high in beneficial Lactobacilli and Streptococcus species.

Introduce a regular bedtime routine

By getting up and going to bed at the same time each day. Ensure your bedroom is dark and cool enough and practice good sleep hygiene by avoiding screen use for at least an hour before bed and keeping electronic devices out of the bedroom.

What are Live Bacteria?

The trillions of microflora that can be found in the human gastrointestinal tract play an essential role in supporting and maintaining strong immune and digestive systems, so having the optimum balance of these beneficial bacteria is important. A number of factors can compromise this balance, including antibiotic therapy, infection, stress, travel or a period of unhealthy nutrition or lifestyle. An effective solution is to supplement the microflora by taking a multi-strain live bacteria supplement to restore the balance.

How Do Babies Obtain Their Gut Flora?
At birth, an infant’s gut flora is obtained from their mother and the environment. Infants born vaginally are exposed mainly to microbes that originate from the mother as they pass through the vaginal canal, whereas those delivered by caesarean section appear to acquire intestinal flora mainly from the environment. Infants' microbiome can also develop with skin to skin contact and from breastmilk. 

The live bacteria probiotics in Vivio Tummie are protected from stomach acidity by being surrounded in a protective oil coating, which releases the bacteria once in the gut, where colonisation and proliferation can take place.
