Exercise and Gut Health

February 9, 2019 By Digestive Detective Leave a Comment

Close up of sneakers of someone jogging for exercise on footpath.

Exercise and the good gut link. Exercise why you need it besides the usual benefits of lowering your blood pressure, reducing the rate of diabetes Type 2, or trimming down the excess weight; instead looking at the role of exercise on your gut health.  I’ve touched on how exercise can increase the production of butyrate producing bacteria, which can have a positive effect on the barrier function of our gut. In turn this can improve leaky gut, it’s symptoms, and can decrease chronic inflammation in the body. Are you overdoing it? On the flip side, over doing it on the exercise front can be detrimental to our health as well. Over training can lead to muscles that always feel DOMsy, old injuries flaring up, or new injuries that seem to come out of nowhere. Over doing it can reduce … [Read more...]

Emulsifiers

Emulsifiers Emulsifiers make your ice cream smooth and silky and your chocolate bars bright, smooth and shiny.They help them stay on the shelf for longer and protect against mould growth.  Getting the oil and water part of the ingredients to mix together for stablility is what they do best. One end of the emulsifier is water friendly and the other is fat friendly. A classic emulsifier is egg in mayonnaise. It essentially binds everything together. You find emulsifiers in dairy products, bakery goods, creamy sauces, low fat spreads, ice cream, margarine and salad dressings. Commonly used emulsifiers are mustard, carrageenan, guar gum, soy or egg lecithin, polysorbates, diglycerides and canola oil.

Your number two is not only the left overs from the food we have eaten but much much more. You need to get it out of your body as its filled with toxic substances. It  is 75% water, indigestible fibre, gut bacteria (living and dead), intestinal lining,old cells, medications and oestrogen.
