During this trying time of weather, politics, and Covid-19 it is important to maintain a healthy diet and good rest. Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise also help the immune system. These are part of the key to preventing viruses from taking control of our bodies. It is important to keep a healthy microbiome in our gut so that the immune system is protected. Therefore it is important to eat foods that restore and protect the microbiome such as a non-sugar yogurt (make sure there is no High Fructose Corn Syrup used to sweeten it), sauerkraut, fresh leafy vegetables, and other safe proteins.
We should be aware that drugs such as Advil, Ambien, and Splenda can negatively affect the microbiome in the gut and thus severely affect our ability to fight disease. Note that Splenda is a substitute sugar but it acts like a drug or antibiotic in that it can inhibit the good bacteria in the gut.
There is another good prebiotic or food medicine that will help the gut maintain a good microbiome. It does the same thing for the mouth and will thus protect you from tooth decay and bad breath. There is 80 of research showing how it safeguarded the children as they grew up in the nation of Finland. This research has been ignored by our sugar producers and politicians for many reasons: 1) there is no money to be made in promoting this good "sugar-free" sugar that our own bodies store in the mitochondria to help repair the cell, 2) it is a little bit more expensive and so the government has not promoted it like it has High Fructose Corn Syrup as a natural sweetening for packaged foods, 3) we have not grown up on it like the Europeans and Asians and so our bodies are not adapted to its good taste and special qualities-- therefore some people may have a mild allergy to it or if you take too much your intestine can feel bloated because it is working to change the microbiome, 4) people have been discouraged by those trying to undercut the medical value- in order to protect their own interests and 5) some people think that because it is not healthy for a dog to eat it that it is therefore not healthy---that is far from true since dogs cannot consume polyphenols too which are very good for the heart.
