Healthy gut, microbiome and immunity – how does hydration affect them?

Fall is a time when our immune systems are put to the test. We look for natural ways to strengthen our bodies, but we often forget that the key to immunity… lies in our gut.

This is where most of our immune cells are located, and a healthy gut flora and microbiome play a key role in maintaining balance.
But did you know that one of the easiest ways to support them is to hydrate daily?

In this article, we'll show you how water, especially electrolyte-rich water like HUMIO, supports your microbiome, gut, and immunity from the inside out. Naturally and without supplements.

1. Microbiome – the internal ecosystem of immunity

Our gut is more than just a digestive system. It's home to over 100 trillion bacteria that make up the gut microbiome —a complex community that regulates:

• resistance,
• absorption of nutrients,
• mood and energy level,
• detoxification of the body.

Interestingly, 70–80% of immune cells are located in the intestines (source: Nature Reviews Immunology).

2. Intestinal flora and everyday immunity

Healthy gut flora is our natural protective filter. When the microbiome is balanced, the body can more easily cope with viruses, stress, and inflammation. But when it's weakened, immunity declines.

What weakens it? A processed diet, stress, antibiotics... and dehydration.

3. Why hydration matters

Hydration isn't just about quenching thirst. For the microbiome, it's:

• hydration of the intestinal mucosa ,
• better peristalsis ,
• transport of prebiotics and nutrients ,
• maintaining pH balance .

Drinking water regularly supports an environment in which good bacteria can thrive.

4. HUMIO – water that works from the inside

HUMIO is a natural alkaline water, rich in electrolytes (magnesium, calcium, potassium), which:

• support the regeneration of intestinal walls,
• help maintain the intestinal barrier,
• support a gentle microdetox of the body,
• promote the balance of the intestinal microbiome.

Thanks to this, HUMIO works not only on the level of hydration, but also supports natural immune mechanisms .

5. How to drink HUMIO for healthy intestines?

🔹 In the morning on an empty stomach – a glass of HUMIO with lemon and ginger (starts microdetox)
🔹 Between meals – a few sips every hour (does not interrupt digestion)
🔹 After exercise/training – electrolyte replenishment
🔹 In the evening – a small glass of HUMIO (regeneration of the mucous membrane at night)

These are simple rituals that support microbiome balance and immunity without supplements.

Start from the middle

Immunity doesn't start with vitamin C or honey tea. It starts in the gut—where everyday life meets balance.
