Ever wondered why a dose of antibiotics leaves you feeling nasty in so many ways? Well here is why.
Gut microbes need to be kept healthy for the following to function correctly:
- the immune system,
- detoxification pathways,
- the cardiovascular system,
- energy production,
- mental health,
- the hormonal system,
- the digestive system.
Antibiotics can totally wipe out or partially wipe out the entire colony of gut microbes (bugs) including the microbes that are essential for our health. This means all the body systems the good ones are needed for stop working so well.
So before you take antibiotics be sure to know the risk and always ask if they are essential at that moment and is there not another way to treat the health issue they are being prescribed for?
