Manuka Honey Can help maintain your Gut Health!

Gut bacteria helps us digest our food, make important vitamins, remove toxins, influence our hormones, immune system and the way our brain works.
Our digestive system contains millions of different gut bacteria that keep our bodies healthy, balanced and operating effectively. These beneficial bacteria are called Probiotics, and they help the body by promoting good digestion, a strong immune system, maintaining energy levels and more.
Mānuka honey is known as a Prebiotic. Prebiotics are foods that we can eat to help our natural probiotics flourish.
Mānuka honey produces prebiotics called fructo-oligosaccharides which help to keep important stomach probiotics healthy and effective.
So when it comes to helping your gut biome maintain a healthy balance, high activity Manuka honey can be very beneficial. 

What else can Mānuka Honey help with?

Mānuka Health, Mānuka Honey may improve digestive symptoms such as IBD – Inflammatory bowel disease, which is in the gastrointestinal tract.
There are two main types of IBD: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Both types of IBD can lead to symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Researchers have discovered that regularly consuming Mānuka honey may help decrease these symptoms. Manuka honey has been shown to improve antioxidant status and reduce inflammation in rats with ulcerative colitis.
It is important to note that the above studies observed Mānuka honey’s influence on bacterial infections in rats and in vitro. Further research is needed to fully understand Mānuka honey’s influence on bacterial infections of the bowel.

How can we help our gut?

Feed our probiotics, more prebiotics which are found in Manuka honey!

Prebiotics, like raw honey, are just as critical for gut health because they are made of fiber that our bodies cannot digest. Prebiotics can, however, be digested by probiotics (live beneficial bacteria in our gut). So prebiotics are the food source for probiotics. We need to feed the good bacteria in our guts in order to have a balanced gut microbiota, and a great way to ensure this may be by eating just a tablespoon of raw honey a day along with getting probiotics in our diet. Put raw honey in your morning yogurt for a prebiotic / probiotic “cocktail.” If you do not eat dairy, you can get herbal teas with probiotics and add raw honey.
A balanced gut may improve digestion, and studies have shown that if we take care of our gut health, we have better mental health.
