Have you ever heard of the “microbiome?” This term refers to the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within our bodies. Our microbiota is made up of trillions of cells, including bacteria, viruses, and funguses. The largest populations of microbes reside in our gut. The microorganisms living inside the gastrointestinal tract are also known as “gut flora.” Gut flora of healthy individuals differs from gut flora found in diseased individuals. The beneficial microflora in the gastrointestinal tract are called probiotics, which means “for life.” >> LEARN MORE HERE. Our bodies are constantly trying to achieve a state of equilibrium in gut flora. There is an immense body of research showing the benefits of balanced gut bacteria in many areas of health. There are many factors in our modern lifestyle that can shift the gut flora balance to bad gut bacteria. These include the consumption of commercially processed foods, antibiotics, stress, and chlorine and fluoride in drinking water. This results in poor gut health, sickness, and obesity. Did you know that our ancient ancestors used fermented foods regularly? Fermentation was necessary to preserve food because there were no refrigerators. Fermented foods were also used by ancient medicine men and physicians to treat ailments. In the early 20th century, Nobel Prize winning scientist Ilya Ilyich Metchnikoff first noted the link between health and longevity and the ingestion of bacteria present in yogurt fermentation. He attributed the remarkable health of a group of Bulgarian people to their daily consumption of probiotic-enriched foods. Metchnikoff theorized that probiotic bacteria could have a greater impact on human health than pathogenic strains of bacteria. Since that time, there have been a vast number of studies on the probiotics contained in fermented foods and their health benefits. In this extremely informative article, our good friend Dr. David Jockers covers various types of fermented foods and specifically 5 ways that they can reduce the risk of cancer. >> CLICK HERE TO READ ENTIRE ARTICLE. How often do YOU eat fermented foods? Adding fermented foods to your diet is one of the easiest ways to increase your nutrient absorption, maintain the health of your microbiota, and prevent disease. Remember, cancer does NOT have to be a death sentence. There is always hope! God bless! ☼ Ty & Charlene ☼
