The popular adage says “You Are What You Eat,” but actually that’s not true.
It is more accurate to say “You Are What You Eat, and Can Digest.”
Why?
If you are not digesting your food properly, you are not absorbing the nutrients from your food.
The unfortunate thing is that this is true even if you paying higher prices for certified organic produce, and spending time cooking from scratch. All that effort can literally go down the drain if your gut isn’t functioning optimally.
The job of your gut microbes is to clean up what you can’t digest, and unfortunately, when these types of microbes start noshing on your food, things get a little … er … messy.
Just as we people eliminate urine and feces, your microbes are doing the same thing inside your body.
It’s actually microbial waste (otherwise known as fermentation or putrefaction) that’s causing your bloating, burping, gas, inflammation, uncomfortable pain, and so many other symptoms.
If this situation becomes chronic, and it continues long-term, you may find yourself with a full-blown disease, not to mention the current danger of weakened immunity.
Cutting-edge science has linked everything from diabetes to IBS to depression to arthritis, psoriasis, heart disease, obesity, auto-immune, inflammatory diseases, leaky gut, and brain health to a disordered gut microbiome.
You may be experiencing the pain and discomfort of one of these diseases right now.
