Day 3: Eat foods that your gut bacteria love

Your gut loves fiber-rich food and protein.

The best proteins for a happy gut are: eggs, fish, beans (but make sure they are really soaked; if not, they can be gas-producing), tofu, yogurt, cottage cheese, and nuts.

However, gut bacteria don’t like fake protein, such as powder protein that is added to shakes, bars, etc. Powder protein (fake, processed protein) can cause bloating. When you try to reset your gut health, try to have protein in its whole form.

Does taking a probiotic help?

Does taking a probiotic help?

Our gut is like the Amazon Jungle => there are thousands of different species of good bacteria in there.

The problem with probiotics => if you throw seeds from a plane into a barren land, not knowing what climate you are in or what the weather or soil are like, some seeds may come out of it if you get lucky. But you don’t know for sure; you just throw things at the wall and hope that something sticks.

When you eat probiotic-rich food, the bacteria come in a food matrix, which is more understandable for our gut ecosystem than when you throw a bunch of pills into your body.

A fecal transplant

A fecal transplant

Healthy bacteria can be delivered through a probiotic, a food matrix, or a fecal (poop) transplant from someone who has a healthy gut and is healthy in general.

A fecal transplant is placed through colonoscopy and is another great way to improve your gut bacteria.

Mood, motivation, and athletic performance can also be transplanted through the gut. It can cure depression, ADHD, and even stop cancer.

Experiment on rats:

Researchers took the patients who had schizophrenia, took their gut bacteria, and put it into mice. After a short time, these rats started exhibiting a change in mental health.

The people you spend your time with

The people you spend your time with

One of the other ways to get healthy gut bacteria from other humans is just by spending time with people that you want to be like. So, you are going to get a similar microbiome to people you hug, kiss, share food with, and spend most of your time with.

The people you spend your time with influence your gut bacteria ⇒ not only do your bacteria become very similar, but also your personalities (as gut bacteria influence your behavior, mental health, and how happy and successful you are.)
