Lacto-fermented Foods another powerful tool to increase the strength of your immune system and your digestive system!
70% of your immune system is located in your digestive system.
Often we don't pay attention to our intestinal health unless we develop an obvious gastrointestinal disease.
In most cases it has to do with ignorance. What can't be seen, doesn't matter!!
The intestinal world is a complex ecosystem. Some bacteria can ruin our health while others will be very protective of our intestinal world.
Bacterial secretions can directly affect the cytochrome 450 detoxification system by which the liver purifies the blood of harmful chemicals that are both inadvertently created by the body and ingested from the environment.
As we age, pathogenic bacteria become insidiously more prominent within us, perhaps due to a progressively weakening of the immune system, stress, years of poor diet, or a lifetime of antibiotics.
It is not just a matter of taking pro-biotics since we have a range of different strains available and they target different areas. That would be an article on itself!
Disorders of the intestines can lead to all kind of crippling diseases. For example arthritis is one of them.
Some people underestimate the importance of fermented foods and health benefits that you can experience include lower cholesterol, efficient digestive functioning and a stronger immune system.
It's estimated by the United States Department of Agriculture that less than 9½ percent of the American adult population consumes five or more servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily.
Yet, almost every major health organization, including the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, the American Dietetics Association, and the American Heart Association have advised that eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day is the public's best protection against degenerative diseases.
With lacto-fermented foods,the foods are pre-digested.
This is an ancient method of bio-fermentation which incorporates beneficial micro-organisms (pro-biotics) and their enzymes into the foods to gently break them down into their most basic elements; combination of organic and chemical free, enzyme-rich super-foods.
The energy boost which lacto-fermented power foods delivers is due to the fermentation process which gives better assimilation of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and micro nutrients including vitamins, minerals, flavanoids, carotenoids and hundreds of other newly discovered small protective molecules called antioxidants.
The fermentation process used to create this special food also destroys natural plant inhibitors such as goitrogens in soya beans which inhibits the thyroid gland and substances which inhibits mineral absorption such as phytates.
An unique blend of fermented beans, grains, sprouts, seeds and vegetables, which uses 2 strains of special symbiotic yeast and 12 strains of friendly lactobacilli bacteria which have been toughened to withstand changes in acidity, alkalinity and changes in temperature.
Nowadays, a good supply of robust friendly micro-organisms makes sense because there is an increasing incidence of bowel disorders, food poisoning and infections with multiple drug-resistant bacteria, such as golden staph, due to the overuse of antibiotics.
There is also a surge in the incidence of chronic inflammatory bowel disorders which also tend to be associated with the overgrowth of bad bacteria.
Most fermented foods purchased on the shelves have been pasteurised which destroys the good, as well as the bad bacteria
We need to continually replenish our intestines with friendly bacteria, which are thought to only live from 3 to 10 days.
The lactic acid-producing lactobacilli in this product can favourably alter the acidity of the intestine, helping prevent the overgrowth of the unfriendly putrefactive bacteria, moulds, and yeasts such as Candida Albicans, giving you a better chance of achieving optimal health and preventing many chronic disorders.
Last but not least a happy gut will support your sense of health and well being for years to come.
