The past 5 to 10 years have yielded major advances in understanding how the balance of the bacterial diversity in the gut (microbiome) influences our genetic potential, immune system health, and digestive metabolic rates. At the core of this bacterial echo-system balance, is the way REDOX Molecules provide resources to help the bacteria repair, restore, and replace themselves.
“Good” bacteria living within the gut can even guide our own gene expression! The purpose of this is to help us adapt to a changing nutritional environment. Our nutritional health is optimized
through supplying our body with the right nutrients packaged properly for metabolism.
Good bacteria grow best with plant-based foods. “Bad”
(pathogenic) bacteria grow like weeds on any food
source but they particularly love sugar and starchy
foods. Growing a good balance of beneficial
bacteria in your gut eco-system unlocks your full metabolic health.
Good bacteria in the gut love REDOX Molecules. In the Journal of Microbiology, 2012 Vol. 81 , the authors demonstrate that the growth of bacteria in tissue cultures depends on a proper “Redox Potential” to secure adequate growth rates of the bacteria. Consistent healthy growth and replicating bacteria are vital to our health. 97% of the genetic
material in our bodies is contained, not in our cells, but in the cellular DNA of the bacteria within our GI tract. These genes are activated and directed by the information in our food, and by the presence of Redox molecules. They activate our metabolic forces that are then directed to enhance our prosperity, and direct cellular actions for aerobic
actions. Pathogenic bacteria do have a purpose and we actually need them in times of stress. They break down foods into fatty acids that are then
directed to fat storage by the liver. This helps us be capable of surviving in times of stress, but does not give us energy to work or be physically active.
