Somewhere between the late fourth and early third century BC, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said: “All disease begins in the gut.” While he was not entirely right, he also was not too far off the mark.
When we talk about gut health we’re talking about the ‘good’ bacteria which live in our guts and help digest food and form the first defence against disease and infection. Good gut health means looking after this bacteria.
