Now proven the multifactorial roles that our gut plays in our body our gut helps us digest the foods that we eat it helps produce nutrients from those Foods it regulates our immune system and our cholesterol metabolism it affects the balance of hormones in our body it affects our metabolic rate and therefore
How much weight we gain or we lose our gut also affects our mood our mental health and our sleep patterns and the ability of our gut to affect so many different factors of our health is thanks to these tiny little creatures residing in our gut known as the gut
Microbiome our gut has trillions of microbes that practically have a role to play in all our metabolic processes and all aspects of our health these gut microbes are in a mutually beneficial relationship with the host that is US humans in return for all the different roles that these microbes play they
Expect to be fed with good nutrition that is amino acids vitamins minerals and fiber for their survival as you can tell the population of these gut microbes is hugely affected by the foods and the kind of foods that we consume in my previous videos I have extensively covered Foods probiotics and prebiotics
That are great for your gut I’ll link those videos in the description box in today’s video I’m going to talk about five specific food categories that are spoiling your gut and the beneficial microbes in your gut if you’re someone who eats or feeds your family or your children biscuits
Please stop because you’re doing your and their gut a huge disfavor no matter what the biscuit is labeled as ATA MAA ragi multigrain low sugar no sugar doesn’t matter please understand that there is nothing healthy about a biscuit biscuits are an ultr processed food category that lack any nutrition
Whatsoever they are usually high in sugar cheap oils of fats tons of additives and preservatives if you’re eating a biscuit because it has ragi in it you’re better to get your ragi in the form of a Roy or a Dosa if you think your biscuit is healthy because it
Claims to be high fiber you’re better off getting your fiber from your vegetables as a subsy or from your fruits so please say no to biscuits today lot of us take fruit juices to be healthy but if you look at the ingredients of a fruit juice you will
See sugar or glucose to be the second or the third ingredient indicating that Sugar forms a substantial component of fruit juices another ingredient in the fruit juice is a fruit concentrate which sounds harmless but it is basically concentrated fruit juice which is spiked with sugar additives and preservatives
To increase its shelf life so fruit juice is basically a high sugar and zero fiber food such Foods feed the bad or opportunistic pathogens in our gut over a period of time this leads to increase in population of the bad microbes and erosion of the good microbes in the
Gut deep fried fast foods form an integral part of the snacking culture in our country be it samosas vapa pakodas guas jales and the different kinds of fritters available AC across the country it isn’t a problem if you’re consuming this once in a while and you’re making
These in smaller batches at home but it becomes a problem when you are a regular consumer of deep fried foods Because deep fried foods pack an excessive amount of saturated fats in them saturated fats are known to lower the population of beneficial microbes specifically lactic acid bacteria in our
Gut the excessive fat from deep fried foods can also lead to a state of inflammation in the lining of our stomach and our intestine and with increasing severity this can lead to signs and symptoms of IBS gastritis or colitis chocolates candies packaged confectionaries like teac cakes or cupcakes pastries all popular soft
Drinks Juice drinks ice creams sauces and condiments like barbecue sauce pizza sauce breakfast cereals fruit jams and preserves syrups like chocolate syrup or pancake syrup if you consume two or more of these food products on a regular basis you’re probably overdosing on high fructose corn syrup or
Hfcs and over a period of time this is going to alter the composition of your gut microbiome hfcs is a sweetener that has been sneaked into all these food products and beverages this sweetener is currently replacing sugar or sucrose in the confection and beverage sector because of its advantage over sucros in
Terms of texture taste and cost excess hfcs consumption has been linked to gut alteration which specifically includes reduced microbial diversity and increase in population of pro-inflammatory bacteria in the gut this gut disbiosis triggers a state of chronic lowgrade inflammation in the gut which over a period of time leads to metabolic
Disorders like insulin resistance and obesity artificial sweeteners have now gained popularity because of the reduced cost low calorie count and perceived health benefits initially only recommended to diabetics artificial sweeteners are now being rampantly used in food products like diet sodas biscuits sugar-free deserts for giving the users a guilt-free experience of
Their favorite junk food but research is now showing that overuse of artificial sweetness causes a shift in the composition and functions of our gut microbiota the alteration in the species of our gut microbes reduces our ability to tolerate glucose efficiently and low glucose tolerance has been linked to obesity and
Insulin resistance in the long term so if you think about it artificial sweeteners are contributing to enhancing the epidemic that they were designed to fight initially so please avoid excessive consumption of artificial sweetness unless you have a medical reason to do so so a quick recap of the
Five foods and food categories that are destroying and spoiling our gut microbiota number one we have biscuits number two fruit juices number three deep fried fast foods number four high fructose corn syrup containing foods and number five artificial sweeteners for the sake of your gut and the many vital
Roles that it plays it is advisable to stay away from these foods and food categories as much as you can and limit the consumption to once in a while now coming to the announcement I’ll be conducting my first webinar on Cut Health on Saturday 13th of April from 4:
