Julius Fiedler educates us on how our microbiome is the most sacred part of our being. Decades of eating processed foods and abuse to our ecosystem has had a major impact on the rapid increase of diseases, food intolerances and an unhealthy planet.
Bacteria is all around us, so why are we so intimidated by it? Microbes are literally everywhere and our bodies are full of 99% bacteria, we just can't see them!
instead of focusing on latest diets, we need to focus on our microbiome to really understand our health and make the best change to our health. The first documented food allergy was documented in 1969, but today 1 in 20 children have some kind of food allergy. What's changed since then, is our microbiome.
If we have healthy soil, we have healthier food, a healthier gut and a healthier mind.
Checkout this book: The Diet Myth by Tim Spector to learn more on how what we eat affects our microbes. He talks about how focusing on the latest diets, we need to focus on our microbiome, not what carbs, sugars and other foods we should cut out.
My biggest little Farm is a documentary of a cinematographer-turned-farmer who brings a piece of land from dirt, back to a rich oasis of growth with veggies and animals all living in harmony. Whenever there's an issue on the farm, the solution is never produced with something manmade, it's something within nature.
The future is not a new invention of a newly modified crop, the future is to be in-tune with nature.
The rules that govern life on earth is a fantastic YouTube video where Evolutionary biologist Sean B Carroll "reveals how a few simple rules govern all life on earth, from the cells in our bodies to populations of animals on the Serengeti."
Moral of the story? If we have a more diverse microbiome (which comes from eating well and being healthy), then our microbes can extract more nutrients from our food and we will benefit more from their nutrients in the first place.
