How Your Inner Ecosystem Influences Countless Aspects of Your Health
Your body contains about 100 trillion bacteria -- more than 10 times the number of cells you have in your entire body (just imagine that!). It's now quite clear that the type and quantity of micro-organisms in your gut interact with your body in ways that can either prevent or encourage the development of many diseases. The ideal ratio between the bacteria in your gut is 85 percent "good" and 15 percent "bad." Maintaining this optimal ratio is essential for good health, as probiotics (healthy bacteria) has over 30 beneficial phamacological actions that we know of.
It's important to realize that your gut bacteria are very vulnerable to lifestyle - and environmental factors, such as:
Sugar / fructose Refined grains Processed foods Antibiotics (including antibiotics given to livestock for food production; these can still be present in the meat when it reaches the table)
Chlorinated and fluoridated water Antibacterial soaps etc, Agricultural chemicals and pesticides, Pollution
All of these factors throw your gut flora out of balance, and, as you can see, many of these factors are pervasive and can be difficult to avoid. However, it's not impossible. Simply altering your diet to avoid processed foods and focusing on whole (ideally locally grown organic) foods will make a big impression! That change alone will dramatically reduce the amount of sugar and fructose you consume, as well as automatically limit your exposure to antibiotics and agricultural chemicals.
