Your gut microbes can prevent cognitive decline and help you stay young.

“As you get older, three things happen: The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.” — Norman Wisdom

That quote is funny, but for many people, aging is not a joke. Cognitive abilities begin to slip; memories start to fade. For some, depression darkens their closing years. Shockingly, much of that trend can be traced to an unexpected source: gut microbes. How can such tiny creatures milling around in the gut have such an impact on our minds?

The story goes back to your birthday. The original one, not the one you celebrate by blowing microbes onto a communal cake. When you were born, you picked up microbes from your mom. If you were a C-section, you picked up microbes from a hospital room. If you were breastfed, your mother gifted you with a starter immune system and bacterial sampler in her milk. In any case, most healthy babies end up with a belly full of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, which you might recognize as the starring microbes in yogurt.

If you keep your gut microbes happy, you can stay young and healthy for longer. In particular, if you feed your microbes good prebiotics and flavonoids, you can keep both your body and your brain in the best shape possible. For more information about the type of prebiotics you need, read about Clarity Prebiotic Blend. It will balance your gut and optimize your mind at any age.
