Let's talk about...

Gut Bacteria
 
NourishMe homemade Kefir


In our gut we possess more than 100 million types of bacteria. These have more of an impact on our health than medical experts previously realized. In fact, research shows that not only is all gut bacteria not created equal but the "good" stuff is vital to our health.

Good gut bacteria improves digestion, strengthens the immune system, and manufactures the vitamins our body needs. On the other hand, "bad" gut bacteria can cause indigestion, mental problems, skin conditions, and all kinds of other problems.
   
1) If you're dealing with any of the following, you might have an unhealthy gut:
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Heartburn/acid reflux
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Disease such as Crohns or ulcerative colitis
2) Gut bacteria can affect our brains. Scientists already discovered that gut bacteria produce neurotransmitters. If you have any of these mental issues, your gut bacteria might be to blame:
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Brainfog
  • OCD
  • Autism
3) Using antibiotics incorrectly can create gut issues that can affect you for years. To our detriment, the food industry continues to over-use them on factory-­farmed animals. Antibiotics wipe out bad and good bacteria indiscriminately. Research shows that good bacteria wiped out by antibiotics don't replace themselves unless you intervene.
 
Avoid Toxins such as sugars, grains, conventional grain-fed dairy, petroleum-based cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and unhealthy oils.

Eat Fermented Foods : Kimchi, sauerkraut, Lacto-­fermented fruits and vegetables, non­pasteurized yogurt, cheese, kefir.



 
Manage Your Stress
Make stress management a priority and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night. Drink plenty of  water.

Suggested Reading
 
Believe it or not you probably consume fermented foods and drinks every day. Consider cheese, wine, beer, coffee, chocolate and even bread. For thousands of years, people have enjoyed the flavors and nutrition resulting from the transformative power of microscopic bacteria and fungi.

Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods explores the culinary magic of fermentation.

 
The flavors of fermentation are compelling and complex, quite literally alive. This book takes readers on a whirlwind trip through the wide world of fermentation, providing readers with basic and delicious recipes-some familiar, others exotic-that are easy to make at home.
 
The book covers vegetable ferments such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and sour pickles; bean ferments, dairy ferments and basic cheesemaking; sourdough bread-making; other traditional grain fermentations, simple wine and beer-making and vinegar-making. With nearly 100 recipes, this is the most comprehensive and wide-ranging fermentation cookbook ever published.

Bonus:
This is an excellent spot-on read from Outside Magazine: Eating Right Can Save The World
