Apparently most of us have over 1,000 kinds of known bacteria living in our intestines right now! The weirdest part is that we should be thrilled to house millions of good ones and here's why...
They help us with digestion, immunity, and proper cell growth, but that's not all. They can also help reverse or prevent colon diseases, inflammation, obesity, anxiety, and depression!
Your Recipe For Healthy Bacteria
Eat for Millions!
- Choose fiber or probiotic rich foods:
- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Whole grains
- Yogurt
- Kefir
- Fermented dairy
- Limit "animal fats":
- Bacon (choose turkey)
- Ground beef (choose extra lean)
- Standard pork (choose pork tenderloin)
- Full-fat dairy (choose fat-free or low-fat)
- Avoid all fried/ greasy foods
Exercise and Be Physically Active!
Concerned About Your Weight?
Studies keep finding that the bacteria profile is vastly different between people who have a healthy body weight and those who don't.
A new study says that obese women who start taking probiotics can increase their good bacteria, which can lead to twice the weight loss on the same diet. Probiotics may even suppress appetite and decrease bad bacteria that promote weight gain.
