Good health is a goal for most people. However, that can only be achieved if one constantly lives a life of purpose and self-care.
Probiotics make it easy for people to achieve their ideal body and mental health goal, through a daily wellness regime along with exercise and a healthy diet.
Willco Janse van Vuuren, managing director of Releaf Pharmaceuticals, said the benefits of supplementing regular exercise and diet with probiotics can have a positive impact on our overall health and well-being.
“Probiotic supplements are beneficial because they can help to restore the balance of good bacteria in our gut, which can be disrupted by factors such as poor diet, stress, and antibiotic use.
When the balance of good bacteria in our gut is disrupted, it can lead to a variety of health issues such as digestive problems, weakened immune system, and even mental health issues,” said Van Vuuren.
Research has shown that probiotics can also have a positive impact on mental health.
“There are benefits across the entire body, from improved skin health to benefits for your heart. It also improves the absorption of calcium for better bone health and gives immune systems a well-deserved boost.
“Probiotics have been shown to have a positive impact on mental health, including reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.”
