Reimagine Bread for Health
Implementing a gut restoration program by eliminating harmful bacteria and reintroducing beneficial ones can significantly improve gut health. The consumption of modern bread, particularly those made from finely milled flour, leads to rapid absorption akin to sugar, resulting in heightened insulin levels. This insulin spike triggers a series of negative health effects, contributing to chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and more. Insulin resistance increases inflammation, promotes fat storage around the abdomen, heightens cravings for carbohydrates, and ultimately slows metabolism, creating a detrimental hormonal and immune environment. To mitigate these issues, it's crucial to reduce intake of problematic flours and explore alternative bread options made from seeds and nuts, which provide beneficial nutrients and support overall health. Regenerating our bread choices can lead to healthier dietary habits and improved well-being.
