A study from Stanford showed that eating fermented food *increases gut microbiota diversity* ! Which, it turns out, is the most important thing for gut health and stability. More diversity = greater health, stability, and anti-inflammatory goodness for your body. Less microbiota diversity = more prone to all sorts of infectious boogymen and more inflammation.
So pleased you mentioned Kefir as I already take it 👌helpful tip about the 2 kinds of fibre and the need for consuming prebiotics before consuming probiotic foods.🙌🏽
It's actually easy to get buttermilk if you're in India. We churn homemade curd with water until a little bit butter separates and add salt and hing to it and drink. It's our summer drink. It's very cooling in nature.
Thanks Dr. Mike. Love your channel! I was curious how it's not problematic to overindulge on probiotics. Is there some regulatory process in the body that helps manage the population of "good" organisms? (I suppose the same could be asked of "bad" organisms... what's the nature of the mechanism that helps balance good/bad organisms, and do they not cause harm if either of their populations exceed some upper limit? I suppose the takeaway really is to make better dietary choices--but any resources or thoughts on this are appreciated. Regardless, thanks again. Appreciate you taking the time to make these videos!)
Great talk as usual, Mike. (Keep up the good work!) FYI, 'natto' is pronounced (approximately) "naht ・toh" - more-or-less even stress, double-t (long), with the second syllable elongated. Contrary to your screen text, there is no "ny" sound at the beginning.
I should be a spokesperson for Lifeway kefir. They have the best tasting flavors and I feel like their kefir is better than several other brands I have tried.
Lactobacilli are fragile and are killed by a blender if the the blender is set to any but the lowest speed, and most blenders are not gentle enough even then. Best to make up the smoothie first and mix in the yogurt after blending if you want the bacteria alive.
@@gdpope52 He said to make the smoothie first in the blender, then add the yogurt. You can add the blueberries to the smoothie because it doesn’t have probiotics
Prebiotics are a bigger 🗝️ key. The large intestine needs Butyrate production in concert to have probiotics take hold. So don't forget your insoluble fiber and/or resistant starch. It's more important.
Amusing wobbly video. Too much of it of course. I enjoyed watching the furniture in this video so much I forgot to listen to what Dr Mike was saying. Hey ho. Its ok I went back and listened and the content is great.
Lol I feel that, it’s like when tests would have normal paragraphs and all the answers are in full caps, makes your eyes jump and scrambles the brain pre-processing 😂
I moved from Ukraine to US and my gut started feeling awful here. And then I realized why: in Ukraine you can easily in EVERY grocery store find sour cabbage or kefir without sugar. My snacks in Kyiv when I felt hungry was kefir and some low sugar whole grain bakery… Buckwheat and all kind of whole seeds where my basic nutrition. In US my diet switched and I should put and effort to find Wholefoods or other fancy store to buy a basic organic food…. But frozen snacks- everywhere. This is insane.
It’s about time you started talking about something that is healthy for people. Maybe you can answer a question for me. You must know soy doesn’t digest very well unless it’s fermented. If that’s the case. Why don’t you doctors say something to the uninformed.
I don't do good with a lot of high acid or spicy things, so I'd be hesitant to do Kimchi. I keep bread and butter pickles and the jarred red cabbage around. Did you see 2 of my Home Free fellers did some opera? Check out Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist on Nessun Dorma. I knew Austin had a little classical training but had no idea Rob had that in him! Such a swap from the Home Free song that they released on Friday. Some of the reactions that people that know them have had, have been hilarious. Lookin good :)
Psyllium is too tough (might as well eat grass) and not the right food for our friendly gut bacteria.. As a supplement, the right kind of fibre for our friendly bacteria is called "Inulin". Found naturally in foods like beans, legumes, lentils and brown rice.
@@ANTHONYGL23 Reason for asking about Psyllium because it was 1. Convenient : Drink by adding a spoonful in water and can be drank on the go 2. Economical 3. Readily available. So does inulin Meets this criteria. If not can you recommend which meets these criteria. Tq for your response
@@akhileshakhil4390 I don't want to sound rude, yet I have told you everything I can already and if you don't believe me ( I will understand) then look it up for yourself. Maybe look it up for yourself anyway. Psyllium is definitely the wrong fibre to feed your good bacteria. It does not work at all. Inulin is one product on the market that is a powder supplement that DOES feed the good bacteria, yet other products also exist that are just labeled as "prebiotic fibre".
@@ANTHONYGL23 In my previous comment, I never doubted your input, in fact I was thankful to you that you shared your valuable knowledge for my good. I appreciate that. All I wanted to ask is are there any options which can be economical, convenient that are good for the gut bacteria. Any how I will try to research on inulin. I appreciate your inputs. Thank you
There is much confusion about Kombucha. Kombucha starts as a sweet tea that a kombucha mushroom (symbiot) lives on and slowly turns the sugars into vinegar. Kombucha is sweet/sour. There will always be some sugar leftover (not added) in natural Kombucha unless you are into drinking vinegar.
@@jonathanheywood4450 The confusion is that Kombucha is naturally a sugar free beverage that has sugar added to it for commercial products. If there is no sugar used in the production of Kombucha, then its NOT Kombucha. Sugar free Kombucha beverages are NOT Kombucha. Kombucha starts life as a sweet tea and it turns sourer and sourer the longer it is allowed to brew. If you want to brew all the sugar out of it you will end up with a product that is just like straight apple cider vinegar.
@@jonathanheywood4450 Right back at you. The very fact that companies put sugar free "Kombucha" products on the market is a demonstration of that company exploiting market confusion over exactly what Kombucha is and how it benefits your health. Sugar free "Kombucha" products lack the vinegar, which is at the heart of Kombucha's benefits.
Nice video! A question: why are you generally speaking not a fan of soy? I like tofu and soy milk and so have a personal interest in your answer. Thank you!
Oestrogen. Soy foods are high in oestrogen mimicking chemicals. Soy needs a good long ferment to be a useful food for human consumption such as Nato, Miso and Tempeh, which were mentioned as healthy. Soy Protein Isolates are a particularly unhealthy form of soy.
Ouch I feel for you. I also had HCP years ago. I had to have the triple therapy treatment too. The antibiotics kill all bacteria good and bad so you’ll have to build the good stuff back up afterwards. I’m not a doctor so please check this up, but that’s what I was told and did. Hope you fully recover soon.
I think I've had the h. Pylori in my gut for years. I went on daily aspirin and after a while I started getting substantial reflux but a endoscopy came back normal except they found h. Pylori. One symptom was belching even after I got the reflux under control. H.Pylori seems like an insidious bacteria.
Sipping a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of warm water; does it really kill (slowly) the over-population of sugar loving gritters in your gut?
@@monsiebabe2817 the organic acv helps with reflux, just take 1/2 tbs straight and it gets the reflux away, I always give it to my son wich suffers from reflux and it helps him, also uou can mix 1/2 glass of 7up and the other 1/2 with whole milk and that also helps

I like most of these.
So do I like most of these ✌🏽
So fiber, like oatmeal and bread? I been trying to stay away from or at least avoiding a lot of carbs.
The right kind of fibre, which goes by the name "Inulin", when it's a supplement, is found in foods like beans, lentils and brown rice.

I would think the ingestion of probiotics should be on a constant basis for those on PPIs?

Make your own and use stevia as a sweetener.
does gut health affect hair and scalp?

Can someone please the 10 foods and their time?
thank u dr mike i dont eat enough fiber so i will be avoiding these xx
I have been making kefir for over 10 years using whole goat or cow milk. I consume it every day.
How about probiotics in a tablet/caplet, does it count?
What if we deliberately consume fibre in water (Psyllium husk) or fibre capsule. Does it still gonna work
