Around 100 trillion microorganisms live in our body, which is three times as many as total of human cells we have!

It’s been known for quite some time that health of our gastrointestinal system affects digestion immunity, metabolism of glucose in our blood stream as well as health of our heart. There is also an undeniable relation between health of our guts and mental health.
