How Probiotics Protect Your Skeleton
Osteoporosis, a condition in which bones weaken, is prevalent within the female population. The risk of developing osteoporosis rises with age. Over 50% of women over age 80 are diagnosed with osteoporosis. Fortunately, there are several effective treatment options and preventative measures already available for osteoporosis.
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have found a relationship between the use of probiotic supplements and the prevention of age-related bone loss among older women. Conducted at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Mölndal, Sweden, 90 women of an average age of 76 were given either probiotic or placebo supplements for an entire year. The study found that bone loss was decreased by 50% in women who received probiotics vs. women who received a placebo.
What’s more, the subjects who received probiotic supplements showed no signs of side effects.
It's clear that there is a connection between the gut microbiome, inflammation, and bone loss.
These discoveries only help to support Betr's stance on the importance of probiotics. Within Betr's healthy eating plan, a variety of probiotic-rich foods are included in Level 1, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir. Upon progressing to Level 2, yogurt is reintroduced as an additional probiotic source.
While the Betr Health eating plan provides nourishment to cultivate an ideal environment for a healthy microbiome, you may discover added benefits by incorporating a probiotic supplement to enhance the effects of the Betr Health protocol.
