so I want to talk about how to increase the diversity of your gut microbiome or

friendly bacteria now why would you want to do that because the more diversified

your microbes are the more benefit you’re going to have with insulin

resistance weight loss reducing inflammation reducing allergies

strengthening your immune system and increasing the bioavailability of

nutrients so what are all the things that will increase the diversity of your

friendly bacteria number one feed them fiber as in vegetable fibers number two

having different types of vegetable fibers so if you’re eating just the same

vegetable over and over and over you’re not going to near have the

diversity that you should have so you want to rotate your vegetables you want

to have salad with a lot of different things that will help you also people

that are not overweight if you lose weight you’ll have more diversity in

your gut versus someone that’s overweight is gonna have less diversity

of microbes fasting very very powerful action to increase the diversity

apparently when you don’t eat your microbes get stronger they live longer

and they develop in diverse ways also polyphenols okay this is a phytonutrient

that are in a lot of different foods nuts and seeds and vegetables and

berries so a wide variety of things but even like chocolate and coffee and of

course I’m not recommending chocolate or sugar but there are a lot of different

things that have polyphenol including wine so this is your time to start

drinking to increase your diversity of bacteria and I’m being very sarcastic

the problem with wine is the alcohol part and I’m not recommending that as an

option alright fermentation consuming fermented vegetables like sauerkraut is

very very good now check this out here are the things that will decrease the

diversity of bacteria in your gut snacking eating too frequently if you

overfeed your microbes you get less diversity all right sugar it will

decrease diversity antibiotics of course allowing the

bad bacteria to grow because one of the things that the good bacteria does is

they can they actually take up the space and the food so the bad bacteria cannot

live there are many many bad side effects that occur when you take

antibiotics one is waking alcohol will decrease the diversity GMO foods and I’m

talking about the main herbicide in GMO foods which is glyphosate that

apparently blocks microbes from producing amino acids and

neurotransmitters all right next one artificial sweeteners will also inhibit

the diversity of your microbes so if you don’t have enough microbes that can also

affect insulin resistance and that can actually affect your blood sugars so

here you are not knowing this you start doing sugar free this sugar free that

using the traditional artificial sweeteners like aspartame and you’re

gaining weight and you’re wondering why okay being overweight we mentioned that

frequent eating we mentioned that and of course stress if you haven’t seen my

other videos on the microbiome I put them up right here check it out
