Herbs and spices for a healthy gut microbiome? Sc

Herbs and spices for a healthy gut microbiome?

Scientists at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, have been delving deep into the impact of polyphenols found in our everyday foods, herbs, and spices on our gut microbiome.

Polyphenols, those powerful antioxidants found in plant-based goodies like fruits, veggies, and even chocolate, have long been hailed for their potential health benefits. But this recent study throws new light on their role in nurturing our gut ecosystem.

🔍 Using data from the INCLD Health study, researchers found that people who consumed more polyphenol-rich herbs and spices tended to have a higher abundance of beneficial gut microbes, like the gut-friendly Lactobacillus.

Plus, they noticed a decrease in potentially harmful bacteria lurking in the gut of those with a polyphenol-rich diet.

This study isn't just about herbs and spices, though. It's a glimpse into how the foods we eat every day can shape our gut health and overall well-being. And while more research is needed, these findings hint at the potential for simple dietary tweaks to support a happier, healthier gut.

Ready to spice up your gut health game? Stay tuned for more updates as scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of the gut-mind connection and the role of polyphenols in our health journey.

If your daily struggles look anything like this -

If your daily struggles look anything like this - energy crashes, mood swings, compulsive eating, brain fog..

Please keep reading…

It could be a blood sugar imbalance - possibly stemming from erratic food intake patterns and exacerbated by chronic stress, which can potentially disrupt the delicate equilibrium of glucose homeostasis.

This dysregulation not only manifests as energy crashes and mood fluctuations but also undermines executive functions critical for effective decision-making and strategic thinking.

By understanding the pivotal role of nutrition in modulating metabolic responses, we can implement evidence-based strategies to mitigate these challenges.

🔷 Adopting a balanced diet rich in fiber rich plant foods, complex carbohydrates, high quality protein, and healthy fats fosters sustained energy release and stabilizes blood glucose levels. Additionally, mindful eating practices, such as regular meal timings and portion control, promote metabolic resilience and cognitive agility.

🔷 Integrating stress management techniques, such as mindfulness, meditation and progressive muscle relaxation into our daily routines reduces the physiological stress response, thereby attenuating the adverse effects of chronic stress on metabolic health.

🔷 Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor to track bio-individual responses to foods can help optimize one’s metabolic health, enhance cognitive function, and elevate overall well-being.

These are of course general recommendations and it is important to note that blood sugar imbalances are one but not the only possible explanation for your symptoms.

🚀 Striving for peak performance in your executi

🚀 Striving for peak performance in your executive role? Don't let busy schedules compromise your health and cognition.

Nutrient deficiencies could be silently impacting your productivity.

In today's fast-paced world, achieving optimal nutrition is a real-time challenge. Factors like stress, environmental toxins, and modern farming practices create a nutritional gap that's tough to bridge without strategic interventions.

So, what is it that you can do? Here's a holistic approach:

🍽️ Prioritize nutrient-dense foods: Opt for organic, local, and seasonal options. Include a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices and high quality protein in your diet.

🍏 Support your digestion, your gut and the microbes that live there. You can eat the healthiest diet on the planet but if your body is not breaking down, absorbing and assimilating the nutrients, you won’t achieve optimal health.

💊 Consider smart supplementation: use a good quality multivitamin supplement (most commercial ones are rubbish) to cover your bases and if possible, work with a qualified nutrition practitioner to identify your unique needs for targeted supplementation.

🧘Manage lifestyle factors: Stress can deplete nutrients and impair absorption. Incorporate relaxation techniques into your routine to support overall health.

💧Stay hydrated: Water is essential for nutrient absorption and overall well-being. Keep a water bottle handy and sip throughout the day.

📅 Plan ahead: Set aside time for meal prep to ensure you have nourishing options available, even on hectic days.

🎯 Personalize your approach: Consider functional testing and individual health history to tailor supplementation to your unique needs.

Remember, investing in your health is investing in your success! 💪
