Children Born Via C-Section May Require More Immunity Support. Here’s The Reason Why
Research has shown that children born via C-section may lack beneficial gut bacteria, which could affect their immune health and persist until the age of five.

Did you know that one of the keys to a healthy immune system is good gut health?
Our gut contains good bacteria and other microbes that help us digest food, while also supporting our immune system, among other benefits. In fact, up to 70% of immune cells is found in the gut!
However, some studies have shown that children born via C-section may have less beneficial gut bacteria in the gut
An imbalance of gut microbiota, a condition called gut dysbiosis, could impact a child's immune system and brain development during critical stages of growth. This condition usually normalises within five years, but having the right diet and eating habits can help support development in the meantime.
