Why Eat Kimchi?
2008-05-28 21:01:00 Kimchi, also known as 'gimchi' or 'kimchee' is a fermented Korean food, equivalent to our sauerkraut. Eaten as a side dish, its main ingredient is cabbage. Kimchi has been eaten for the last 3000 years, and only recently (12th century) began to be prepared with the addition of chili peppers. Other variations today include kimchi made of radishes, scallions, or stuffed cucumber. Kimchi is seasoned with ginger, garlic, onions, and sometimes brined shrimp or fish sauce (anchovy based).Fermented foods like kimchi are known as healthy foods, and not just for the vitamin content (Vitamins A, B1, B2, Calcium, C, Carotene). Ann Louise Gittleman, author of The Gut Flush Plan writes that it's because they "feed and sustain the probiotic population in our digestive tracts," keeping our guts in good shape.

Stop the Runs with Probiotics
2007-10-29 16:49:00 Diarrhea can show up at the most unsuspected times and places, often without warning or obvious cause. Yes, there are over the counter "flow stoppers" available which may work for a while for some but do nothing to heal the condition. Some basic causes of this embarrassing stuck-within-ten-feet-of-the-to-ilet condition are: stress, illness, food and water that is contaminated by harmful microbes. The majority of diseases and infections enter the body through the bowel. Studies indicate that bacterial imbalances are associated with irritable bowel syndrome, post-surgical infections and type 1 diabetes. It took the medical profession a long time to discover that antibiotics destroyed the beneficial bacteria as well as the harmful ones, thus making the body more prone to secondary infections. The bacteria in your gut have many functions in the body and are essential to your health. These microorganisms are collectively called your gut flora, micro flora, or beneficial bacteria and are e...

Food, bacteria, yeast & the leaky gut meet probiotics & gluten free
2007-04-28 19:58:00 Food, bacteria and yeast in the gut are increasingly being acknowledged by doctors to have a role in the development of a variety of chronic diseases. For years alternative and complementary health practitioners have been advocating various elimination diets and supplements for treatment of a myriad of illnesses and symptoms. Recently more medical researchers are seriously looking into science of food and gut bacteria and yeast causing illness. This research is more common in Europe than in the West because in the U.S. most of the research funding is linked to drug development. Since dietary treatment is not a drug pharmaceutical companies are generally not interested. Their deep pockets are not available to the research scientists working on food related illness who depend on pharmaceutical company funds to survive in academic medicine. However, Celiac disease affects 1%, food allergies 8%, gluten sensitivity 10% and various food intolerance 30-60%, so what we eat is important. Our...
Probiotics...what is that?
2007-01-31 01:47:01 Probiotics is a relatively new buzzword in the world of food. But what exactly does it mean?Probiotics are found in foods, and they help our body's immunity by increasing the "good" bacteria found in the gut.What foods contain probiotics? Fermented foods are the best source; yogurt being probably the most well known. Food manufacturers are jumping on the probiotic bandwagon and are coming out with foods that have probiotics added to them. A new one on the market, Vive, is a cereal made by Kashi. This "good for the digestive tract" cereal contains 12g of fiber and Lactobacillus (the "good" bacteria), ginger and brocolli extract.Probiotics are live organisms, thus this cereal should be eaten soon after purchase. Storing it in the refrigerator may prolong the effectiveness of this cereal, too.Be on the lookout for more processed probiotic-containing foods in the grocery stores.Any takers?
