Aliens – the key to health?
When you look into the mirror, it could be that 90% of what is looking back at you is alien. Scientists are telling us that bacteria within us outnumber our own cells 10:1.
Most of these little critters reside in our gut, freeloading off what we eat. The trick is, different species of bacteria have different tastes, a bit like Jack Sprat and his wife. What we consume will have an affect on the populations of bacteria within us. More and more scientific studies are demonstrating that our own health depends on what colonies of bacteria we are feeding. If its the good guys we will be in good physical and mental health. If its the bad guys, we will suffer from inflammation, obesity, asthma and a whole host of baddies.
The ABC’s Catalyst program have produced an enlightening, frightening and yet empowering documentary on this subject, which was aired on TV 14 August 2014. You can check out the 28 minute video here.
What can you do about it?
Nearly everyone I talk to eat what they call a “balanced” diet. And nearly all of them make excuses for their “balanced” diet, and agree there should be changes. We make that easy for you. Whether it is in analysing exactly what you DO eat (and drink), or prescribing and supporting a detox plan, or establishing control over your own life, we have the tools and the expertise to set you on your way.
All you need to do is call us.
