What Is the Gut Microbiome? The microbiome is the collective term for the trillions of bacteria. It also has some other microorganisms that live inside and on our bodies. You host around ten times more bacterial cells than human cells! While it's true that most of these microbes are beneficial and help keep us healthy, some amount of "bad" bacteria is also present. As with all ecosystems, we must maintain a delicate balance for optimum health. When we talk about gut health, we're referring to the health of these trillions of microorganisms that live inside our gut. The gut microbiome produces short-chain fatty acids, vitamins B and K2, that keep our immune system strong and provide energy. It also helps us digest our food and absorb nutrients to stay healthy.

When you think about coconuts, your mind probably goes to tropical beaches, palm trees, coconuts as souvenirs and delicious coconut water. However, as we all already know, coconuts have many health benefits. Coconut contains many vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and manganese. It also has a high amount of lauric acid (up to 20 per cent), which can help improve your gut health. This article will explain the benefits of coconuts for your gut health.   What's Good About Coconuts for Your Gut Health? Coconuts are suitable for your gut health, either fermented or unrefined. They contain fibre, prebiotics, and probiotics. Fibre helps your gut by slowing your digestion rate and preventing blood sugar spikes. Inflammation happens when blood sugar spikes; fibre can help prevent inflammation in your gut. Prebiotics are a type of fibre that your gut bacteria eat.

How can you improve your gut health with MCTs? A poor diet in general, or after festivities, can trigger increased symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a proliferation of harmful bacteria, and an imbalanced gut microbiome. Adding MCTs to drinks or foods can help to increase the levels of healthy bacteria in our guts by improving the body's ability to absorb vitamins and minerals and have the ability to reduce bloating and symptoms of IBS.

I recently had a chat with Michelle, a primal health coach, owner of Santosha Wellbeing in Shell Harbour NSW, and yogi. Michelle is a widely respected wellness practitioner and advocate of primal health. During our chat, I asked Michelle a series of questions about primal health to share here on this page. What is primal health? Michelle: Primal health is a lifestyle; it’s not a diet; it’s much more than that. What I’ve found is that the word “diet” makes people feel scared about making changes to how they eat, or it puts people off, and then they approach change with a negative mindset.
