Health and Your Gut
A complex ecosystem exists inside each of us and is unique to each individual. Trillions of beneficial bugs primarily bacteria as well as fungi, yeast, protozoa, viruses and others inhabit every area of our bodies, forming our microbiome. These microorganisms work together to digest food, produce vital compounds, defend against pathogens, detox from toxins, and regulate our emotions and thoughts. Ninety percent of our microbiota exists in our large intestines and is referred to as our gut microbiome or gut flora. Overall health is directly tied to the health of our gut flora. A healthy microbiome is one in which the beneficial microbes outnumber the disease-causing microbes and are diverse in type, species and strain.
Consuming more plant-base whole, increases the number and diversity of beneficial microbes in the gut. The American Gut Project, a study conducted by The University of California San Diego, involving 11,000 international subjects, suggests that the main predictor of a healthy gut flora is diversity of plants in one's diet. Plants come from the soil which is rich in beneficial microbes. Certain microbes live on certain plants and fiber structure varies from plant to plant. Fiber is the preferred source of fuel for gut microbes and plants are its only source. While we digest starches, proteins and fats we do not digest fiber which passes into the large intestine to feed the microbes. Animal products do not provide fiber, however, at times may introduce pathogens. Polyphenols and resistant starches from plants also fuel gut microbes. Aim to eat from 30 different plant sources weekly to optimize gut flora.
Our creator gave us herbs, seeds and fruits for food. Genesis 1:29. Science has consistently proven Him to be a loving and wise God.
