Knowledge, like food,
is powerful medicine.
Pollution in the environment breaks down the body’s protective epithelial layers and can trigger an inflammatory response
Researchers found that climate change may detrimentally impact our quest to look younger through its effects on the soil
Climate change could be a key player in explaining the dramatic increase in different types of gastrointestinal diseases
Double the amount of young people under the age of 55 are diagnosed with colorectal cancer compared to a decade ago
Beans contain inulin, a prebiotic food that feeds “good” gut bacteria, and can prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer
Improving the microbial environment after the onset of cancer can stop cancer progression, and may even help to treat it
In this study from Washington University, people with pre-clinical Alzheimer’s were found to have higher populations of certain bacteria involved in breaking down the amino acids arginine and ornithine, and lower levels of those involved in protecting neurons. These changes in gut bacteria were present years before people developed cognitive issues like memory loss and […]
It’s all about what you’re feeding your gut microbes! Processed foods that are low in fiber and typical of a Western diet (think packaged chips, cereals, and sugary snacks) are rapidly absorbed in your upper GI tract – providing maximal calories for you, and minimal for your gut bacteria. Less processed high-fiber foods like lentils, […]
40% of postmenopausal women in the U.S. take HRT. While previous studies have explored the association between HRT and reproductive cancers, this is the first study to look at long term HRT and the likelihood of developing GI cancer. The study analyzed medical records of over 11 million women who took HRT for at least […]
