Day 2 of 90 The truth about fiber

Fiber is good, correct? 

The more research I do, the more things I thought were good end up not being so good.

It turns out that fiber is non-digestible to humans. However, it is a delicious food source for bacteria and other microbes. 

Before I go on, just in case you did not know, the human body has about 1 trillion cells. However, there are about 10 trillion bacteria in humans that live with us in our bodies. They play a vital role on our health has 80% of them live in our gut. These are the pro biotic bacteria that help us digest and maintain health. Without them, we would die.

So it only makes sense to feed them. Fiber is a delicious food they love to eat.

Now here is the kicker. If you have a great balance of 85% good bacteria to 15% bad bacteria, fiber keeps you very healthy. However, fiber feeds all bacteria and microbes equally. So if you have more of the bad bacteria, and your sick all the time, Fiber is feeding your sickness. Fiber will keep you sick and unwell.

Nine times out of 10, if you are overweight, you're good bacteria to bad good bacteria is not correct. Fiber is just making you sick. And fat.

The first thing we need to do is to repopulate our gut with good bacteria/probiotics. Probiotics is a term for the good gut bacteria/flora that keeps us healthy and helps digest food.

A good detox is lots of vegetables. Egg whites helps detoxify your body of heavy metals.

Sugar also feeds the bad bacteria. So avoid soft drinks, and any processed sugars or carbohydrates.

Fermented foods as in pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi are full of probiotics. Plain yogurt is an outstanding source of probiotics. However, do not get the fruit or sweet yogurt.

The fun part, is we can ferment and grow our own pro biotics for free at home.

The world, the air, the water and everything around us has a ratio of 85% good bacteria to 15% bad bacteria. Salts/salt water usually kills off the 15% bad bacteria. That's why things are salted to keep them fresh safe to eat.

In a glass mason jar, a couple teaspoons of organic sea salt to filtered water… Add any vegetables and seal tightly… The good bacteria on all your vegetables will start to multiply and colonize creating a lot of probiotics. One serving of fermented home foods has about 10 trillion probiotics.

So when you get probiotics in tablet form at the store, and it has 1 billion probiotics. You are not really getting a lot and it costs so much.

Once you take the 30 day probiotic challenge, you can resume eating a fruit for a snack and the fiber in that Apple, pear, banana or whatever you wanted to eat, is more than enough fiber for your good probiotic bacteria to make you extremely healthy.

The moral of the story is, if you have 85% good bacteria in your body, the 15% will never grow and you will never get sick. That's a proven fact.
