ADVERTISING: Advertorial — A new twist to improve gut health naturally

You are full of bacteria, literally. In fact, you have more bacteria in your gut than cells in your body. Your gut microbiome is a microscopic world within your body made of 1000’s of microorganisms. These include not only bacteria but fungi, parasites, and viruses. In a healthy people, these microorganisms coexist peacefully, with the largest numbers found in the small and large intestines. But it appears they appear to influence many aspects of your health, not only within your digestive system; but also outside of the digestive system.

The problem starts when we have too many unhealthy microbes in our gut. An unhealthy gut can lead to disease.  Studies show an unhealthy gut health may play a role in conditions like: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), heart health, lowered immunity,  brain health, dementia, Alzheimer’s, high cholesterol, brain fog, poor focus, poor memory, anxiety, depression and various psychological disorders, just to name a few. The gut has been coined the “second brain,” it’s that important. To say that your gut health plays an important role in our overall health is putting it extremely lightly. 

In recent years, Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) has emerged as an exciting natural remedy with the potential to support gut and digestive health. 

LLLT has been shown to have beneficial effects on gut health by improving cellular function and promoting tissue repair. By incorporating LLLT into your routine, you can potentially support a healthy gut microbiome and reduce the risk of developing chronic conditions associated with gut health imbalances.

Top three benefits of Red Light Therapy for digestive health based on research:

1. Inflammation reduction

LLLT has proven effective in reducing gut inflammation by stimulating the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, crucial proteins that regulate the immune system and reduce swelling. This remarkable solution holds incredible potential to bring relief to individuals fighting conditions like IBS and IBD.

2. Improved gut microbiome  

Another benefit of LLLT for gut health is its ability to improve the gut microbiome. In a recent scientific investigation, researcher Marie Ann Liebert and her team observed a fascinating phenomenon: when LLLT was specifically directed toward the gut, it stimulated the growth of good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. (Liebert et al., 2019).

3. Improved digestive function through increased collagen production

LLLT has been demonstrated to effectively stimulate collagen production. As the body's most abundant protein, collagen plays a vital role in both our visible appearance and the proper functioning of the digestive system.

Overall, LLLT shows promising results as a natural remedy for various health issues, including digestive problems. To sum it up, by stimulating cellular function and promoting healing within the body, this therapy can contribute to reducing inflammation, improving the gut microbiome, enhancing digestive function, and improving symptoms for individuals with digestive disorders.
