01 Jun Dirt and Probiotics: What Could They Possibly Have in Common?

Probiotics are a critical component of both your digestive health and your immune health. The diverse flora in the gut helps to regulate a variety of bodily functions and can help you to feel your best on a regular basis. Probiotics are good flora, or gut bacteria, that populate your intestines. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a world that promotes a healthy gut biome. Between the variety of antibiotics used, alcohol consumed, and hand sanitizer used on a regular basis, we’re actually reducing the variety of probiotics typically found in our intestinal tract. In turn, this reduces both our immune system health and overall digestive health.

There are a variety of ways to increase the amount of probiotics in your diet in order to support your digestive health. Everything from fermented foods to natural health supplements can help to increase the amount and variety of probiotics in your gut. But there is another “new,” more relaxing way in which to increase the probiotic variety in your intestines: gardening.

While you won’t be eating dirt when you’re outside gardening, the actual process of gardening and getting your hands in the soil can help to improve your probiotic variety and volume found in your digestive tract. Garden soil has a wide variety of tiny microbes that live there. Many of these microbes are actually the same ones that can be beneficial to our digestive tracts. Taking the time to garden without gloves on can help to increase your digestive health.

In addition to gardening without gloves, consuming wild or organic foods that haven’t been highly processed can also help to improve your gut flora. Consuming foods that haven’t been subjected to pesticides and fertilizers will allow you to introduce all those healthy microorganisms to your body that they aren’t typically be exposed to. Opt for wild dandelions in your salads, or consider picking up some organic potatoes that haven’t been given a solid scrub in order to diversify your gut flora.
