The Keto Diet’s Secret Benefits for Mental Clarity 

Probiotics seem to be everywhere these days. Should you take a pill? Start drinking kombucha? Aren’t probiotics naturally occurring in your gut anyway? Let’s break it down for you.  

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that co-exist with your body and play a key role in your health. They impact everything from your weight and lactose tolerance to your stomach acidity and overall digestion. But here’s the catch, having the wrong probiotics or not enough of the good ones can lead to gut problems, low energy, and even mood swings. Cultivating the right balance is essential for a healthy gut and vibrant health, and there’s no better place to start than right here in Dubai.  

How Your Food Choices Impact Probiotics  

The food you eat directly affects which probiotics thrive in your gut. Plant-based foods rich in fiber are particularly effective because they feed beneficial probiotic bacteria. Many of these foods also contain probiotics themselves, especially fermented foods. At Rawteen’s Functional Deli in Dubai, we’ve curated an array of probiotic-packed options to help your gut thrive.  

Probiotics don’t just live in your gut, they also play a role in breaking down potentially harmful compounds in food. For example:  

• • Some vegetables, grains, nuts, and legumes contain oxalates, which can cause joint pain, digestive issues, brain fog, and fatigue.  

• • Probiotic organisms found in high-oxalate foods produce enzymes that break down oxalates, helping your body process them without discomfort.  

The Role of Stomach Acidity  

Your stomach’s environment is a critical factor for gut health. A properly acidic stomach acts as a gatekeeper, killing harmful bacteria before they reach the gut. If your stomach acid is too low, bad bacteria can slip through, causing reflux, bloating, gas, and other digestive issues.  

Boost your stomach acid naturally by adding Raw, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (available at Rawteen) to water before meals. If you’re struggling with these symptoms, our organic cabbage juice can help kill off bad bacteria, making it easier to transition to apple cider vinegar and rebuild your gut health.  

Healing an Injured Gut  

If your gut lining is damaged, even the best probiotics can’t populate properly, and they might overgrow, leading to imbalances. In severe cases, a healing protocol like the SIBO Diet may be necessary to repair the gut lining and restore balance.  

At Rawteen Special Store in Dubai, we offer a wide selection of probiotic-supporting foods, from fermented vegetables to clean, organic produce, whole grains, and legumes. Whether you’re looking to support a healthy gut or need specialized options for SIBO recovery, we’ve got you covered.
