Shower Your Microbiome with the Right Fertilizer

written by Gina Van Luven March 4, 2024April 4, 2024

Microbiome has made great strides in popularity and many scientists are studying this complex ecosystem and its benefits. There is a saying in the medical community that, “your gut is your second brain.”

The microbiome is a collection of microbes that live in your digestive system to facilitate and support digestion, nutrient synthesis, and immune function. It even helps regulate mood and metabolism. The following are some benefits of a healthy microbiome:

  • Stimulating the immune system
  •  Protecting against pathogens
  •  Regulating mood and stress
  •  Breaking down potentially toxic food compounds
  • Synthesizing certain vitamins and amino acids, including the B vitamins and vitamin K
  • Regulating metabolism, appetite, and blood sugar

There are over 10,000 species of microbiome and ten times as many of them in the human body than there are human cells. Up to 90 percent of all health issues can be traced back to an imbalance of microbiome. The following disrupt this delicate ecosystem:

  •  Antibiotics
  •  Birth control
  • Chlorinated water
  •  Sugar
  • Alcohol
  • Ultra-processed foods
  • Pesticides
  • Stress

Additionally, eating the same foods daily can cause a disruption because you are only feeding certain types of microbes. Microbes need food to survive. Therefore, having a diet rich in a variety of plants can help maintain a diverse population of microbiomes, plus, avoiding the disruptors. 

You may be wondering if meat helps or hurts microbiome. The answer is both. Plants, on the other hand, only help microbiome. Having a diverse plant-based diet is the best fertilizer for healthy microbiome and the best way to maintain optimal health and well-being. 

One of the reasons for this is fiber. Meat does not contain fiber, but plants do. Not only is fiber a great fertilizer for microbiome, but it also helps you feel full; supports healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar; and acts as a broom inside your intestines, sweeping out your intestinal track and removing toxins. 

The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25 to 30 grams. Foods highest in fiber are lentils, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds, with chia seeds being highest at 34.4 grams fiber per 100 grams chia. Just a single ounce contains nearly 10 grams of fiber. You can add chia seeds to just about anything you eat! Go online to search for recipes using this excellent microbiome fertilizer and amp up your meals and your health.
