Today we’re going to talk about how to increase your gut bacteria diversity. 

Why would you want to increase your gut bacteria or diversify your good bacteria? Because the more diversified your gut microbes are, the more gut bacteria benefits you’re going to have with:

• Insulin resistance 
• Weight loss 
• Reducing inflammation 
• Reducing allergies 
• Strengthening the immune system 
• Increasing the bioavailability of nutrients 

How to increase your gut bacteria diversity:

1. Fiber (vegetable fiber)
2. Different vegetables
3. Losing weight 
4. Fasting 
5. Polyphenols 
6. Fermentation 

What will decrease the diversity of your good bacteria:

1. Snacking 
2. Sugar
3. Antibiotics 
4. Alcohol 
5. GMO foods (glyphosate)
6. Artificial sweetener 
7. Being overweight 
8. Frequent eating 
9. Stress

I’m ending my 72 hrs fast at 10pm tonight, this has been the most comfortable fast ever. Hope I re eat right this time. Is a small portion of sauerkraut and followed by some lettuce salad with evoo. Hope that’s a good way to break a good fast. I’m not hungry and feel like I could just go on but I’m willing to go longer next time maybe next week, I am enjoying the idea of being in Autophagy. Getting better all the time.

I listen, make copious notes and do as much as I can. Sometimes I reread in a week to remind myself. I am familiar with some of info….but the videos help me remember WHY it is important for me to do these things for myself. I went to holistic physicians years ago and recovered from CF and ovarian cancer surgery, according to my healthy efforts. I refused the chem/radiation, but did a lot of organic juicing, food combining diet, received hypnotherapy, Reiki, etc. I was in my 30’s then. Now at 69 I am utilizing these healthy foods to restore myself since terrible emotional stress. Keep telling people this very useful information. Thks Dr. Berg.
