We’ve all heard that our health starts in our gut. But does everybody understand what it means?
Our colon is home to millions bacterias that are essential for our digestion. In simple words, bacterias eat food that we give to them and produce elements that human body needs, such as vitamins.
There are healthy and pathogenic bacterias. The proportion of them affects how healthy we are. While healthy bacterias are our hardworking friends that support our digestion, pathogenic bacterias produce elements that are poisonous.
Bacterias need constant support to live. By choosing food we chose what bacterias we feed. Healthy bacterias mostly feed on dietary fibres. This are different fruits and vegetables. Pathogenic bacterias prefer protein and processed sugars.
Another enemy of a healthy colon is fungus. They colonise areas of our body and help pathogenic microflora to grow fast. To stay healthy avoid any types of fungus, including yeast and mushrooms.
Probiotics
Nowadays it has become very popular to support our gut health with probiotics. Probiotics contains armies of bacterias that are meant to balance our microbiome.
The problem with probiotics is that in most cases people consume them but do not make changes in their diet. So they continue constantly sending armies of bacterias to their body but are still supporting pathogenic ones with their dietary choices. This way probiotics gives temporary effect. Gut starts felling better, but real situation inside human’s body and mind doesn’t change much.
Let’s not to forget that probiotics are a medical treatment. Instead of being dependant of external bacterias that help to degrade tons of consumed protein, it is better to change our diet and grow our own healthy microbiome.
How to support our microbiome:
- Clear your body from pathogenic microflora.
- Eliminate food that cause the development of pathogenic microflora.
- Clear your body from fungus and parasites
- But the main thing is to feed healthy microflora.
Healthy microflora prefer raw dietary fibres. Consumption of raw vegetables and greens is preferable. Also limit the amount of processed food and exclude animal protein, yeast and processed sugar from your diet.
It takes time and constant effort to heal our microbiome. Dedication and readiness to change our food preferences is necessary.
Interesting fact! Microbiome and our thought patterns are connected.
There is a mirroring connection between our digestion and our thoughts, in particular ways we digest information. Our analytical abilities and understanding how to use information we receive from the outer world is connected to the bacterias in our colon.
If you want to have a healthy colon, eliminate destructive thoughts. Support your healthy thoughts and intentionally generate new ones. This will help healthy bacterias to grow in number and will create a good environment for more healthy bacterias. Thus your gut health and general health of your body will improve dramatically.
