Stress Affects the Intestines

In a recent study from Ohio State University, School of Dentistry, a very interesting abstract was published in Brain Behavior Immunology. The study postulates that stress affects the inflammatory cytokines of intestines (100 fold), increases the bad bacteria (by 28%) and decreases the good bacteria (by 50%)! This condition gives the bad bacteria an increased opportunity to over populate the intestines and create a toxic environment that will produce a multitude of health problems (beyond the initial health issue). Therefore, no matter what disease or condition one may be dealing with, the stress it produces affects the health of your gut and in-turn your overall health. So, always be proactive and treat the intestines! Check-out our At Home Colon Kit for a convenient do-it-yourself method of keeping the good bacteria at a healthy and helpful level.
