Belly Solution BEATS Antibiotic Resistance
They say the best defense is a good offense. And when it comes to dangerous antibiotic resistance, I couldn’t agree more.
After all, once a common infection like a urinary tract infection (UTI) or an abscessed tooth threatens your life, it could be too late to do something about it.
We rely on antibiotics to knock out most ordinary infections within a week or two. These miracles of modern medicine changed EVERYTHING.
Diseases that were once considered killers, like pneumonia or strep throat, were seldom deadly once these drugs hit the scene.
But now, because of antibiotic overuse, the threat is back.
Antibiotic resistance means common infections can become super infections that threaten your life.
The problem is on the rise. And it claims the lives of tens of thousands of people yearly.
This means it’s VITAL to start building up your body’s defenses against this modern-day threat.
And science recently uncovered a surprising way to do JUST that begins in the BELLY.
As it turns out, boosting your microbiome… or the good bacteria in your gut… could be the key to battling back against antibiotic resistance.
You see, most of your immune system is in your gastrointestinal tract. So a healthy microbiome already helps fight back against all kinds of microbial threats.
But recent research also reveals how it could provide an extra boost of protection by squashing down the threat of antibiotic resistance.
Researchers found a potent superfood—that you can make a part of your daily diet—slashed the number of antibiotic-resistance genes in the body.
When scientists crunched the data on the daily diets of a group of healthy adult volunteers, they discovered something interesting. The participants who ate the most FIBER had the least antibiotic-resistant genes.
Having fewer of these genes doesn’t prevent developing an infection in the first place. But lowering overall antibiotic resistance could ensure that the drugs you receive to fight off that infection do their job.
You may recall that fiber is a prebiotic that feeds your gut bacteria (or probiotics). But its benefits don’t end there. There are plenty of other good reasons to load up on this plant-based nutrient, from fighting constipation, to better bone health.
You can easily get more fiber into your diet by eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and legumes.
P.S. A recent study identified a NEW way to improve your gut microbiome using “purple power.” And while it could help ANYONE, it may work especially well for postmenopausal women. CLICK HERE for the scoop.
