microbz - keeping you and your<br />
home healthy<br />
Health and wellbeing, whether that is our own or indeed that of the planet on<br />
which we live could not be higher on the agenda for <strong>2020</strong>. We thought that now<br />
was the ideal time to showcase a local company with some great products, both<br />
for ourselves and for our homes…we spoke to Sue Allen of Microbz about some<br />
great little bugs!<br />
First of all, the science bit – what are microbes and what<br />
do they do? Microbes, also known as microorganisms, are<br />
fundamental to life. These invisible bacteria are the first form of<br />
life on earth and, over billions of years, they created the essential<br />
conditions, for starters oxygen and carbon, which made human<br />
existence possible. We owe them a lot!<br />
Vital communities of trillions of microbes are everywhere, on<br />
every surface of the earth, and also, as we are discovering more<br />
and more, in our gut microbiome.<br />
But over the last 70 years or so our increased use of chemicals<br />
and antibiotics has tipped the balance of life. Who hasn’t<br />
noticed more and more people being affected by allergies and<br />
autoimmune conditions, and the rise of superbugs? These are<br />
signs that the natural world is out of balance at a microbial level<br />
as well as in the visible environment.<br />
We are what we eat – and our gut health is vital to our overall<br />
health, tell us what Microbz can do to keep us fit to face<br />
<strong>2020</strong>? Your gut health depends on the diversity of microbes that<br />
make up your gut microbiome. Microbz’ liquid fermented brews<br />
deliver 14 strains of beneficial microbes – billions of good bugs<br />
– to support your gut microbiome to be balanced and healthy.<br />

That’s important because around 80% of your immune cells live<br />
in your gut. And it turns out that 70% of serotonin, the ‘happy<br />
hormone’, is produced in the gut. Just keeping both those in<br />
tiptop balance will help us keep fit to face <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
We may well be considering our holidays at this time of the<br />
year – how important is it that we make sure that our tums<br />
are travel ready and what can we do to boost our health and<br />
ensure that we feel our best? We meet unfamiliar microbes<br />
whenever and wherever we travel. Packing a bottle of Bio-Live<br />
will protect you from tummy upsets or any other reaction to<br />
different food or water, by strengthening your immune system.<br />
And we have a travel pack especially for short break carry-ons<br />
As well as your personal health care products you also<br />
have products that are environmentally friendly and highly<br />
effective for our homes, tell us more. I absolutely love our<br />
microbial cleaners – totally 100% natural and non-toxic and<br />
amazingly effective. Microbes absorb organic matter for their<br />
energy and all dirt is organic, whether it is grease or food or<br />
allergens or dust...anything! Spray, wait and wipe and know that<br />
you are coating surfaces with friendly dirt munching microbes.<br />
And feel super-green to know that nothing that goes down your<br />
sink will harm anything anywhere.<br />
