Our bodies provide a home for an estimated 100 trillion microorganisms.  They live around us, on us, and inside of us.  Most importantly, they live in our gut.  We actually call those colonies of microbes our “gut microbiome.”

New discoveries about the importance of a healthy gut microbiome have exploded in recent years.  It seems the trillions of “good” (probiotic) organisms living in our system have a far greater impact on our health than we ever imagined.

There are literally thousands of different species of microbes in the gut.  We now know that staying well depends on keeping these gut bugs healthy and in balance with each other.

 A healthy gut microbiome contributes not only to good digestion but to a healthy brain and heart, improved sleep and energy levels, immune system function, and even our moods, just to name a few.

Studies done on mice are pointing research in some highly promising directions.  In one study, researchers took gut microbes from diabetic mice and transferred them to healthy mice.  What happened?  The healthy mice got diabetes.

 In a similar experiment, microbes from overweight mice were injected into skinny mice.  Guess what happened?  Yes, the skinny mice got fat!

Now researchers are using the same procedure to see how changing the microbiome effects things like depression, anxiety, autism and more. 

Unfortunately, our gut microbiome has quite literally been under attack.  Overuse of antibiotics wipe out those good bacteria as do many of the chemicals sprayed on our foods.  Our modern diet lacks the fiber and other natural foods that feed those “gut bugs.”  They can even be harmed when we are under too much stress or don’t sleep well.

 A recent Fox News Survey showed that 74% of Americans suffer from digestive problems. It is possible that many of these issues are related to imbalance in the gut microbiome.

 A 2018 study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology concluded that taking Humic Acid increased the number of those good bacteria in the digestive tract.  In fact, the results indicated that colonies of existing probiotic bacteria increased over 10% in just 30 days on humic acid.

 Game plan:

1.  Eat well.  Gut bugs thrive on leafy greens, cruciferous veggies like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli.  Feed them fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchee, and yoghurt. Skip the processed foods and sugar laden snacks.
2. Get out of your sterilized environment into nature where a healthy microbiome is all around.  Go outside, go swimming, plant a garden and get your hands in the dirt!
3.  Avoid antibiotics whenever you can– they kill gut bugs! Buy meats that are free of antibiotics and plant foods that have not been sprayed with chemicals.
4. Take Fulvic and Humic Minerals to both protect and feed your essential microbes!
