You are made of about 38 trillion bacterial cells, 30 million human cells and 100 times that viral protozoa parasites and a mixed bag of other cells. There are 500-1000 different types of bacterial cells that make up part your gut microbiome.
When you eat food, the bacterial cells digest that food and spit into your blood, as their waste products, all of the nutrients that your body needs to survive and thrive! Some of these nutrients are the pleasure hormones tryptophan serotonin, and dopamine. Immune cells and antioxidants are some of the other health producing chemicals that the bacteria produce. To do their job, the best foods that the bacteria utilize are non-soluble fibers, the best being vegetables.
So you truly are NOT what you eat. You can eat the best foods in the world, but unless you have a good gut microbiome to break down those foods, you will never utilize the nutrients.
In fact, there are many other factors that affect what you digest, absorb and assimilate. Exercise, sleeping patterns and stress all affect how your gut utilizes the food you eat. Over the next several weeks, look out for follow-up newsletters to give you some health tips that improve the gut microbiome but for now we’re going to cover the most important one of all!
Your gut bacteria communicate with your brain via the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nerve system that regulates just about every function in your body! However, about 70 to 80% of the vagus nerve goes directly to your gut. That’s why when you get a “gut feeling” you really are getting a gut feeling. When you are anxious or stressed, the vagus nerve, the major part of the parasympathetic system, is overridden by the fight or flight, sympathetic system. Consequently, when you eat when you are stressed you do not digest your food properly. In fact, you might feel abdominal discomfort, gas and not at ease mentally. There is another very common thing that will interfere with the function of the vagus nerve. When spinal vertebrae, especially the first bone in your neck, get misaligned the resulting subluxation will shut down the vagus nerve.
Correcting subluxations over the past 40+ years has helped so many people improve their health by helping the body to digest, absorb and assimilate the foods that they eat. We have been blessed to witness thousands of children and adults improve from so many different conditions. Quite frankly, it is mind-boggling that people take all sorts of dangerous medication that may not need if they had their nerve system cleared of vagus nerve irritation, subluxation.
In our next newsletter, we will cover what factors influence and maintain a good microbiome.
