We often attribute probiotics with our gut, but our skin, lungs, urinary tract system, mouth, every part of the human body inhabits microorganisms living in harmony with their human host, providing vital functions essential for our survival.
In the modern world of disharmony, many humans are living in bodies that are in dysbiosis (an imbalance in the different types of microorganisms living in your body) and we as a species are losing a very old ally which has co-evolved with us for generations.
The good news is, there is always hope to restore balance and to assist our bodies to heal.
We can begin by understanding:
🌿 The Importance of traditional and whole foods (sustainably raised meat, wild fish, organic pasture raised eggs, organic fruits & vegetables and fermented foods).
🌿 The dangers of processed foods (especially within the deceptively marketed "healthy / keto / vegan" alternatives in the sad consumerist driven "natural" health food industry).
🌿 The benefits of traditional cooking methods (slow cooking, fermentation).
🌿 The importance of gut health (consume probiotic rich food daily: kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, Kvass).
🌿 The traditional techniques for maximizing nutrient bioavailability (sprouting, fermenting, soaking).
Why homemade probiotic rich fermented foods are equally as important, if not more so, to professional high-quality probiotic supplements:
🌿 The key to promoting a strong, diverse microbiome within our body, is to create an ideal environment "Terrain" for our friendly 'human strain' microorganisms to repopulate and regrow. This is why fermented probiotic rich food are so important for healing, not only are we consuming trillions of probiotics, but they bring with them the ideal environment (pH, lactic acids, prebiotics ...etc) where these friendly microorganisms have been growing during the fermentation process.
