Diet, Gut Health, Weight Loss.

The connection between sourdough and your mood...

The gut communicates with your brain.

The stomach releases a hormone called ghrelin.

Ghrelin stimulates appetite by telling our brain it is time for food.

Let me tell you a story behind Sourdough

It might be the greatest UNTOLD sourdough story.

This came to mind when I received a phone call today.

It was from someone who wanted advice about sourough.

Sure, I said…”what IS your story?”

Tell me about the moment you knew you’re overwhelmed?

As you know, there’s so much that goes on from day-to-day.

And it’s so easy to get lost in the forest...

This short article helps you to focus.

You’ll take ONE action, which is the most important first.

What is sourdough bread?

Glad you asked…

Sourdough is a leavened bread.

And the dough naturally rises as a result.

“Naturally rises as a result”…

Please keep this in mind as you keep reading.

Now here’s the #1 question that people ask…

“Is sourdough sour.”

So why would someone want to eat sour bread?

Maybe there is a hidden and deeper meaning.

Is life going to be a bitter, sweet or sour?

Because fear of the unknown is a limiter…

What does limit mean?

It’s a point beyond where someone cannot or is not permitted to go.

And it’s worse than you imagine.

Fear always gets in the way of change...

It’s got less to do with fear of failure.

And also fear of success.

Actually, it’s fear of both.

Let me explain…

Let’s say you want to go on a diet to lose weight.

But what if it doesn’t work?

You spend money on a product.

You may struggle, suffer and starve…

Only to gain ten more pounds in the end.

And feel like a loser.

But what if it all works for you?

You lose all the weight you want...

And then some.

But now you have another problem.

Do people actually like you or your appearance?

Maybe before you didn’t get much attention in social situations.

And now you’re overwhelmed with attention…

Some of it far more aggressive than you can stomach.

That’s also scary.

And you don’t know which direction it’s going, right?

So that uncertainty is scary, too.

Fear…fear…fear…

fast food

Real change happens when you can get past fear...

And what is the ultimate fear killer?

Love…

Loving the idea of new possibilities.

Love who you’ll become.

As you go about experiencing self discovery…

Love of the curiosity.

And love of fascination.

You’re able to face and open up to the real you.

Listen, the goal isn’t to avoid or get rid of fear...

You just have to love ringing a bell so much louder.

So the noise of fear is harder to hear.

And it’s not as simple as feeling the fear...

To be uncomfortable and do it anyway.

It’s you feeling, taking care and nurturing love.

And action happens without fear.

Because sourdough naturally rises as a result

And extra credit if you love who you are right now.

Especially to encourage love for the future you.

You’re ready to finally put an end to discomfort.

Remember life is your personal sourdough journey...

You’re declaring you have risen.

And deserve to enjoy a new life.

To love you, feel good, energised and empowered.

POWERFUL is your love and I am so excited for you…

Food is integral in the fight against inflammation in our body.

Food is an important part of our lifestyle…

And diet is only one tool in the box.

There are numerous nutrients and natural remedies.

Including foods which are critical in reducing inflammation.

All foods we choose to eat can increase inflammation…

Or they can combat the effects of inflammation.

In fact, research shows some foods are as effective as medicine.

We all want to reduce inflammation in our body…

But without unwanted and often detrimental side effects.

May I ask… do you want to recharge your gut health?

You’ll need to figure out which foods are ideal for digestion.

Do You Need a Probiotic?

Are probotics on your radar, especially if you suffer from compromised immune or digestive problems?

You probably know someone who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, celiac disease or irritable bowel conditions…

You may know at least one person with a serious even life-threatening allergy…

Dear Friend,

These health problems often go back to a compromised immune system.

Scientists have found foods we eat are causing these problems.

The good news is there may be a solution, keep reading to find out why…

probiotics

Probiotics are live good bacteria and yeasts which support your health, especially your digestive system.

We usually think of bacteria as something which causes diseases, right?

Your body is full of bacteria, good and bad.

Probiotics are called good or helpful bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.

Food choice is vital because most women don’t have enough healthy gut flora.

In your gut, you have good flora which creates a barrier between gut and blood stream.

This barrier blocks bacteria and other harmful elements which you eat from entering your blood and rest of your body.

In fact, 80 percent of the body’s immune function occurs in the gut associated lymph tissue which are found in the walls of intestines.

Gut flora is first line of defense in this immune tissue…

And if it’s out of balance your immune system won’t be able to function properly.

Why is this imbalance a problem for women?

probiotics for digestive health

The problem is in the foods we choose to eat…

You see, processed foods we eat, many of which contain genetically modified ingredients or antibiotics damage the gut flora.

The antibiotics women take for their health also kill good bacteria in the gut’s lymph tissue.

Almost all doctors prescribe antibiotics, often when not needed…adding to this problem.

Add this combination between foods with antibiotics and your gut flora is imbalanced.

The only way to correct this problem is to get a dose of healthy bacteria…

Probiotics are living, beneficial bacteria.

When you consume probotics, they enter the gut and quickly start multiplying.

And help improve the immune system.

Probiotics from a variety of sources…

Fermented foods like sauerkraut, and cultured yogurt all add probiotics to your system.

Just bear in mind when you eat foods with probiotics within them, most of the bacteria are destroyed by your stomach.

probiotics yogurt

Also, no food can contain all strains of beneficial bacteria you need.

That’s why many women are turning to probiotic supplements…

Probiotic supplements offer many probotics benefits, research has shown probiotics can delay and fight against cancer.

Bad bacteria in your gut produces nitrosamines which is a carcinogen…

Now, this is where good bacteria works to destroy these nitrosamines.

This process helps slow or stops the growth of cancer they can cause.

Some probiotics may stop the return of cancer once it has been successfully treated.

Probiotics benefits also may assist in increasing antioxidants in your body…

Antioxidants are compounds found in foods which neutralise or ‘mop up’ molecules called free radicals that can harm cells.

Damage caused to cells by free radicals is linked to certain diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The best sources of antioxidants are found in fruits and vegetables.

There has also been some research into the way probiotics help limit belly fat storage.

In 2010, one study tested a group of overweight women with a probiotic or a placebo.

Those who were given the probiotic reported 5 percent belly fat loss in 12 weeks.

These are just some of the probiotic benefits you can experience…

probiotics benefits

Probiotics have helped limit allergy problems, improve digestion and reduce inflammation.

Yogurt contains live cultures, the only problem is most are killed by stomach acids and not all probiotics are created equal.

In fact, many supplements don’t contain a full range of probiotics…

What is considered a good probiotic?

You want to look for probotics which contains many different strains of good bacteria.

Here are some guidelines to help you with your research:

  • Lactobacillus Plantarum improves cardiovascular and digestive health
  • Lactobacillus casei improves leaky gut and cardiovascular health
  • Lactobacillus Acidophilus improves cholesterol levels and digestive health
  • Lactobacillus Rhamnosis reduces diarrhea, supports weight loss and limits stress
  • Lactobacillus Bulgaricus improves problems with lactose intolerance
  • Bifidobacterium Longum supports weight loss and fights cancer
  • Bifidobacterium Breve supports the growth of other healthy bacteria

Some intriguing new research has found the same bacteria colonies which affects our digestive health could also be influencing our mental health.

Several studies have shown changing gut bacteria changes stress and behavior as well.

Take a closer look at actual number of live colony forming units (CFUs) in particular pay attention to expiry dates connected via CFU numbers.

You want probotics supplements which keeps all the bacteria alive at least until the expiration date and protects bacteria from stomach acid…

Microencapsulation is one of the best options because this gives each bacteria cell a small protective layer of lipids to protect against stomach acid.

This means your digestive system gets more of the bacteria it needs for better health.

You want a good probiotic and you need the right amount, right?

Now, this is the tricky part because there is no right amount of probiotics dosage…

probiotics gut health

Every woman’s gut flora needs a different level.

Your best option is to research probiotics which serves your overall health.

As a general guide, researchers suggest a minimum of ten billion CFUs of regular probiotics and four billion CFUs if the probiotic is microencapsulated.

There’s been lots of research looking at using probiotics to maintain digestive health.

Recent research has found the right kind of gut bacteria could alter the way we process food and store fat…
