Flashback Friday: What's Your Gut Microbiome Enterotype? NutritionFacts.org
There appear to be just two types of people in the world: those who have mostly Bacteroides type bacteria in their gut, and those whose colons are overwhelmingly home to Prevotella species instead. Get the preface for Dr. Greger's brand-new book, How Not to Diet, by subscribing to his free newsletter at https://ift.tt/2r5qova. If our gut flora enterotype could play an important role in our risk of developing chronic diet-associated diseases, the next question is: Can we alter our gut microbiome by altering our diet? And the answer is — diet can rapidly and reproducibly alter the bacteria in our gut, the subject of the follow-up video, How to Change Your Enterotype (https://ift.tt/2NQa5ys). Make sure you catch the first four in this series: • How to Reduce Carcinogenic Bile Acid Production (https://ift.tt/2o02PVv) • Putrefying Protein and “Toxifying” Enzymes (https://ift.tt/2XCYdmj) • Microbiome: The Inside Story (https://ift.tt/2JLuYsw) • Prebiotics: Tending Our Inner Garden (https://ift.tt/2iyx9Wu) Who we have living in our gut may also play a role in autoimmune diseases. See Why Do Plant-Based Diets Help Rheumatoid Arthritis? (https://ift.tt/2WTrbzw) Since this video originally came out, I have even more on the microbiome.
