70% of women with undiagnosed infertility have been found to have increased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation in their body. Oxidative stress can impact egg quality and a calm and balanced immune system is vital for acceptance of the blastocyst when it\u2019s trying to implant.\u00a0 Improving the diet, as well as gut health is key to reducing these markers.<\/p>
Good bacteria live in every mucous membrane in the body and they communicate with our immune system keeping us healthy.\u00a0 When you have healthy levels of good bacteria; they support the immune system in keeping out infections and they also help us to recognise food as friend and this is very important part of keeping the immune system calm.<\/p>
Not only that but our good bacteria eat fibre and in turn produce anti-inflammatory compounds called short chained fatty acids to help keep our gut and in turn our whole body healthy.\u00a0 \u201cBad\u201d bacteria also known as pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria can increase inflammation in the body.\u00a0 Therefore balancing good and bad bacteria is an important part of reducing inflammation in the body.\u00a0 As the bowel transfers bacteria to the vagina and the bladder, it\u2019s vital that the gut is healthy in order for these areas to be healthy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t At high levels our good bacteria have the potential to push\/ crowd out the bad bacteria from the gut.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I love kefir! Kefir contains over 2,000 different strains of beneficial microbes.\u00a0 1 teaspoon of homemade milk kefir is similar to taking a probiotic capsule as it contains approximately 40 billion live bacteria.\u00a0 Drinking just 100ml daily (the size of an Actimel yoghurt drink) means you are going to be getting 20 times this amount!\u00a0 It can have quite a profound impact on the health of the gut!\u00a0 If you’d like to try out making your own milk kefir at home please send me your postal address and I’d be happy to send you on some grains to get you started!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
