| Food as Medicine:Ditch the Diet and Focus on Intuitive EatingMarch has come into full swing with National Nutrition Month! When we hear or talk about nutrition, we can usually understand the central premise of the idea: Eating healthy -- using food options that will promote a well-balanced lifestyle and prevent the likes of obesity, high cholesterol, and other preventable health issues. Good nutrition is not about cutting calories or losing weight; it's about giving your body the nutrients it needs when it needs them. Our society has strayed away from eating intuitively. We live in a fast-paced environment that demands long hours and values efficiency over health and wellbeing. We glorify 'hustle,' workaholics, and long hours of overtime. This can lead to dependence on fast food and ignoring hunger signals. The stress of this environment leads to eating for emotions rather than hunger.

Probiotic Bacteria: Source of Essential NutrientsThe term Essential Nutrients refers to nutrients that are required for normal functioning and, they are also nutrients humans are not capable of making. For decades, scientists assumed that the only way humans could obtain our essential nutrients was from the foods we eat or by taking nutritional supplements. However, scientists have recently learned that some of our critical essential nutrients are produced in the gastrointestinal tract by various strains of probiotic bacteria. Scientists are discovering that probiotic bacteria are amazingly complex little chemical manufacturing factories. When probiotic bacteria ferment dietary fibers, they create compounds that are referred to as postbiotic metabolites. Scientists have recently confirmed that a number of the postbiotic metabolites that our probiotic bacteria make are some of our important essential nutrients. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
