Lacto-fermented Foods another powerful tool to increase the strength of your immune system.

Lacto-fermented Foods another powerful tool to increase the
strength of your immune system and your digestive system!

70% of your immune system is located in your digestive
system.

Often we don't pay attention to our intestinal health
unless we develop an obvious gastrointestinal disease.

In most cases it has to do with ignorance. What can't be
seen, doesn't matter!!

The intestinal world is a complex ecosystem. Some bacteria
can ruin our health while others will be very protective of
our intestinal world.

Bacterial secretions can directly affect the cytochrome 450
detoxification system by which the liver purifies the blood
of harmful chemicals that are both inadvertently created by
the body and ingested from the environment.

As we age, pathogenic bacteria become insidiously more
prominent within us, perhaps due to a progressively
weakening of the immune system, stress, years of poor
diet, or a lifetime of antibiotics.

It is not just a matter of taking pro-biotics since we
have a range of different strains available and they target
different areas. That would be an article on itself!

Disorders of the intestines can lead to all kind of
crippling diseases. For example arthritis is one of them.

Some people underestimate the importance of fermented foods
and health benefits that you can experience include lower
cholesterol, efficient digestive functioning and a stronger
immune system.

It's estimated by the United States Department of
Agriculture that less than 9½ percent of the American adult
population consumes five or more servings of fresh fruits
and vegetables daily.

Yet, almost every major health organization, including the
National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society,
the American Dietetics Association, and the American Heart
Association have advised that eating five to nine servings
of fruits and vegetables per day is the public's best
protection against degenerative diseases.

With lacto-fermented foods,the foods are pre-digested.

This is an ancient method of bio-fermentation which
incorporates beneficial micro-organisms (pro-biotics) and
their enzymes into the foods to gently break them down into
their most basic elements; combination of organic and
chemical free, enzyme-rich super-foods.

The energy boost which lacto-fermented power foods
delivers is due to the fermentation process which gives
better assimilation of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and
micro nutrients including vitamins, minerals, flavanoids,
carotenoids and hundreds of other newly discovered small
protective molecules called antioxidants.

The fermentation process used to create this special food
also destroys natural plant inhibitors such as goitrogens
in soya beans which inhibits the thyroid gland and
substances which inhibits mineral absorption such as
phytates.

An unique blend of fermented beans, grains, sprouts, seeds
and vegetables, which uses 2 strains of special symbiotic
yeast and 12 strains of friendly lactobacilli bacteria
which have been toughened to withstand changes in acidity,
alkalinity and changes in temperature.

Nowadays, a good supply of robust friendly micro-organisms
makes sense because there is an increasing incidence of
bowel disorders, food poisoning and infections with
multiple drug-resistant bacteria, such as golden staph, due
to the overuse of antibiotics.

There is also a surge in the incidence of chronic
inflammatory bowel disorders which also tend to be
associated with the overgrowth of bad bacteria.

Most fermented foods purchased on the shelves have been
pasteurised which destroys the good, as well as the bad
bacteria

We need to continually replenish our intestines with
friendly bacteria, which are thought to only live from 3 to
10 days.

The lactic acid-producing lactobacilli in this product can
favourably alter the acidity of the intestine, helping
prevent the overgrowth of the unfriendly putrefactive
bacteria, moulds, and yeasts such as Candida Albicans,
giving you a better chance of achieving optimal health and
preventing many chronic disorders.

Last but not least a happy gut will support your sense of
health and well being for years to come.
