Probiotics for an Aging Body

Getting older has pluses and minuses. On the plus side, you get more time to relax and enjoy life. On the minus side lie many health challenges.

Have you ever wondered whether probiotics could do anything for an aging body? Research has suggested that as you age powerful microbes could enhance your health in more ways than one. 

Inflammation is the body’s attempt at self-protection; the aim being to remove harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens – and begin the healing process.

While inflammation is essential to your health, too much inflammation can be detrimental to an aging immune system, leading to a condition known as “inflammaging.”

This often-hard-to-detect condition sends the immune system into a state of hyperactivity in which the process can begin doing more harm than good.

According to recent studies, certain probiotic strains could help address the issue of excessive inflammation. So why do these microbes affect the elderly differently than their younger counterparts? According to the Huffington Post, “The trillions of bacteria in the intestines are known to play a role in inflammation particularly in the elderly. The key to optimal health is a strong diversity of species yet as people age the variety tends to drop.”

So in order to maintain this diversified microbial species, ongoing probiotic supplement is needed because these microbes are often only guests that take a short vacation through your digestive tract before exiting and requiring replenishing.

As we age, it becomes more important to remain proactive about our health and that involves taking a daily probiotic supplement, such as Rawbiotics DAILY.
