Get your Gut flora all the way right with this delicious slaw.
The bacteria in your gut is extremely important for helping sustain a healthy immune system, a healthy digestive system and improve your overall mood. When we have compromised gut floras, we are more prone to depression, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity and many atopic diseases.
Keeping your stress down, minimizing antibiotic use, and eating a well-rounded nutritious diet all hold the key for optimizing your gut flora. Daily probiotics may be of help as well (100% pineapple juice is the way to go for a daily dose of probiotics!).
