As
we mentioned in yesterday's article, within your gut resides more than
100 TRILLION living bacteria that control many aspects of your health,
and unfortunately, due to things like the ingestion of artificial
sweeteners (found in diet beverages and food products) that kill off the
healthy bacteria in your gut, most folks have created a massive and
very dangerous bacterial imbalance in their body.
But it
doesn't just stop with diet beverages and artificial sweeteners. In
fact, there are MANY foods that can do SERIOUS damage to your gut and
your immune system, all while destroying your overall health and
dramatically slowing your fatloss to boot.
Here are three of the absolute WORST:
1. Sugar.
We all know sugar is bad news for fatloss and insulin levels; in fact,
excessive sugar intake can and often will result in insulin resistance
and Type II Diabetes...no laughing matter there. But what most people
don't realize is that sugar acts as a fertilizer for the "bad",
health-destroying bacteria in your gut.
Yes, that's
right...every time you eat sugar (added by the truckload into snacks,
cereals, desserts, juice, sodas, teas, and a host of other food and
beverage items), the infectious, pathogenic baceteria in your gut feed
on it, multiply, and spread further throughout your intestinal walls,
wreaking havoc on your entire body, and your health.
If you ever want to achieve optimal health and your ideal body, limit your sugar intake, plain and simple.
Processed, packaged foods
(i.e. anything that comes in a bag or a box). Processed, packaged foods
that come in a bag or a box, with a laundry list of ingredients,
contain MANY bad-bacteria promoting chemicals and food additives that
destroy your gut and create a toxic environment in your belly that can
quickly spread throughout your entire body.
Instead, strive to
eat whole, natural foods--without all the additives--and you'll be well
on your way to a healthier bacterial balance in your belly. Where are
these whole, natural foods found? In the produce aisle, and in the lean
meat section of your local grocer.
One other tip, reach for the
organic varieties of these foods when possible as agriculture chemicals
sprayed on produce, and antibiotics and hormones injected into meats,
can also have a significant negative effect on gut bacteria.
3. Yogurt. "Huh?
I thought yogurt was a great source of healthy bacteria?!" Well, while
that can be true, most of the time it's not because the vast majority of
yogurts are either full of sugar or artificial sweeteners that feed the
bad bacteria and kill the good bacteria in your gut.
Yogurt is
a great choice; just make sure there are no added sweeteners -- be it
sugar, sucralose, saccharine, or aspartame. These sweeteners will cancel
out any and ALL positive effects of yogurt by wreaking more havoc on
your gut bacteria before the "good stuff" in yogurt even has a chance to
go to work.
Now, those are three of the WORST foods for your gut, but how would you like to know TEN of the absolute BEST?
Unlike
the gut-damaging foods above, these 10 foods help to restore a healthy
bacterial balance in your belly by killing off the bad bacteria while at
the same time giving you loads more of the vitally important,
beneficial bacteria that is so critical to both your health and fat loss
goals.
