Gut health is of growing concern for many people, but for athletes it can be of vital importance, and there are some very specific issues.
Problems in this area are common among the physically active, and their impact can be wide ranging.
In recent years our understanding of gut health has grown considerably, and it appears the more we learn, the more we realise just how central it is to our overall health.
We also know that for active consumers, be they professional athletes or more casual gym-goers, finding products that boost their performance and health is a key priority.
So, in this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with FrieslandCampina Ingredients, we marry those two huge topics and looking at gut health in active consumers.
What are some of the specific issues that arise in those who are physically active? What might some of the solutions be? And how is the food and beverage industry responding?
Backed by a healthy dollop of science, we explore the worlds of fermentation, whey protein, and the gut-muscle axis.
