We see a fragmentation on how the probiotics are used in Member States, and it serves neither the business nor the consumers to have unclear information about what it is actually in their products, says @HeidemannLasse of @DanskErhverv, kicking off the discussion.

We are trying to have a broader debate on how these words (probiotics) can be used so we get a harmonized system in place, that doesn’t hurt businesses and, at the same time, enlightens the consumer in the way it is supposed to, he continues.

Your gut microbiome is responsible for your health.

Our gut microbiome is key to our digestion
I'm sure you know that much, but it's emerged in recent years that it does so much more.
At my company, Heights, we've spent 2.5 years researching the 3 high impact areas it can improve:
Digestion
Immunity
Mental Health.

Your gut contains billions of bacteria - they all have certain jobs to do.
Some will help your skin glow, some your nails, most make sure your gut breaks down food well so your whole body system is firing on all cylinders, turning nutrients from food into energy for life...

It's not just what you eat that influences your #gut #microbiome, but also the medication (not just antibiotics).
We now need to be thinking about that more carefully when studying #diet, #prebiotics, #probiotics, #gutbrainaxis and the #microbiota

"Individuals exposed to multiple drugs, polypharmacy, showed distinct gut microbiome structures harboring significantly more abundant upper gastrointestinal species and several nosocomial pathobionts due to additive drug effects."
"Polypharmacy was also associated with microbial functions, including the reduction of short-chain fatty acid metabolism and increased bacterial stress responses."

2.) Probiotics
Every high-performer understands the value of gut health. Incorporating probiotics either through food or supplementation is something all of them do.
My hack? Adding Kefir to my Smoothies. The Kefir I get has 14 strains of probiotic enzymes in it

Bacteria in the #gut outnumber fungi as a class, but at the individual species level can occur in the same numbers.

THREAD: After 4 years on my health journey (and having lost >50 lbs.), here are my top 20 weight loss and #health tips, things I really wish I had known 20 years ago. #LCHF
1. Stop the Sugar - Avoid #fructose, sucrose, lactose or pretty much anything else that ends in -ose. #Sugar causes blood glucose spikes, which raises your levels of insulin, the main fat-storage hormone.
2. Limit net carbohydrates to 50g or less daily. Lower is even better, shooting for 15g per meal. Calculate net #carbs by subtracting grams of fiber from total carbs.
Onion goodness.
Getting ready to make onion powder today. Thought I would share a thread about onion benefits.

Onions are nutrient-dense.
Low calorie but high in vitamins and minerals.
One medium onion has just 44 calories but delivers a considerable dose of vitamins, minerals and fiber

Incredibly important hypothesis piece published today 👉 “Proposed here is a theory that #microorganisms from within the #brain and elsewhere in the body contribute to the long-term #neurological deterioration characteristic of traumatic brain injury”: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Article below present new evidence showing “good' bacteria in #probiotics could evolve in the gut to do harm” 👉 What??? Just kidding, of course they can:)☝️Key statement from article is: "There is no microbe out there that is immune to evolution”: sciencealert.com/experiments-su…
Also, what I wish these studies on evolving microbes would better consider is the state of a person’s #immune system 👉 Generally speaking a #microbe is less likely to evolve towards virulence if the immune response is “on its toes”☝️More context here: microbeminded.com/2018/03/01/tow…
Third as #probiotics are added to a growing # of consumer products, I think we could make more careful + intelligent decisions about using them if they were called “#organisms used for therapeutic purposes”☝️...as opposed to “friendly” microbes
