You may have a hard time answering the question, are you bifidobacteria rich since most people have never heard this word before.

Well my suggestion is to learn how to help your gut microbiome become rich in bifidobacteria as they are key to your health.

Your gut microbiome is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a significant role regulating your immune system, endocrine system, digestive system, and your overall metabolism. Plus your gut microbiome is linked to cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, and your ability to fight disease.

One of the most important and beneficial bacteria of your entire gut microbiome is a group called bifidobacteria. And the rest of this blog post will help you understand why they’re important to your health. As well as how you can take dietary steps to make sure they dominate your abdominal microbiome.

The controversy over artificial sweeteners and weight gain has been brewing for a long time. The manufacturers claim that there is no association. However, recent information from the scientific community is showing that artificial sweeteners and weight gain is real.

And with the ongoing research in the world of the micriobiome, especially your gut microbiome, this association is revealing a cause and effect on how artificial sweeteners and weight gain occurs.

This is especially important since overweight and obesity issues continue to increase. Over 60 percent of the adult American population are now either overweight or obese.

I was reading the Book of Daniel from the Bible’s Old Testament and found a very interesting passage as it applies to supporting your gut health. Most of the emerging science today is showing that supporting your gut health or mircrobiome can make a significant difference in your overall health and wellness.

So did it help Daniel improve his health?

Well before we answer that question, here’s a brief backstory from the Book of Daniel: King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had captured the town of Jerusalem and taken the young men of Judah’s royal family and others back to the land of Babylonia.

These captives were put into a three year training program and would then enter the royal service. Part of getting them ready for service was to feed them the royal diet.

What was the royal diet? We’ll discus this in a little bit but first let’s read the Holy Scriptures from Daniel Chapter 1 Versus 8-16: Read More →

The Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Posted by Dan Hammer //

09/08/2017

Cayenne pepper is more than just a hot spicy herb. According to Dr. Schulze, “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper.”

Cayenne pepper is a medicinal and nutritional herb. Its nutrients include beta carotene (precursor for vitamin A), capsaicin, lutein, amino acids, essential fatty acids, calcium, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, and E.

Before I begin our discussion about how important cayenne pepper is to your health, I wanted to list one additional quote. It’s from Dr. Patrick Quillin who served from 1990 to 2000 as the Vice President of Nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He is an internationally respected author, lecturer, professor, and consultant in the field of nutrition. His 15 books have sold over 1 million copies and include the best sellers Healing Nutrients and Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Here’s the quote:

“Cayenne pepper – prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old-time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated.” – Dr. Patrick Quillin from The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper Read More →

Can Artificial Sweeteners Cause Weight Gain?

Posted by Dan Hammer //

07/22/2017

There has been a long running debate about whether artificial sweeteners cause weight gain. And the answer is “YES!”

Not only do they cause weight gain but they also contribute to several other metabolic disorders. These are the findings of the researchers at the University of Manitoba’s George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation. (Try fitting that on a business card.)

They reviewed 37 studies that where done over the last 10 years or more. These studies documented the results from over 400,000 participants who used artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and stevioside. They were able to document that artificial sweeteners had a negative impact on:

Metabolism

Gut Microbiome

and Appetite.

Additionally, their review of the literature clearly showed the following: Read More →

How Much Protein Do You Need

Posted by Dan Hammer //

07/01/2017

With the recent emphasis on protein to improve your health has come the question, how much protein do you need? If you research this, then you’re going to find a wide range of answers.

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it’s 46 grams for women and 56 grams for men. However, you need to keep in mind that this is the minimum to prevent illnesses due to lack of protein consumption.

In a recent show on Dr. Oz he also addressed this question on how much protein do you need. According to Dr. Oz the suggested recommendation varies according to your current weight. Here is a link to the show and in it he recommends dividing your weight by 3 to determine the amount of protein that’s right for you.

If I used his suggestion, then I would need 45 grams of protein since I weigh 136 pounds. This would be less then the government’s recommendation. However, if I weighed 210 pounds, then I would need 70 grams of protein, which would be higher then the government’s recommendation.

In deciding how much protein is right for you, this formula of dividing your weight by 3 allows for individual differences and would work for both men and women. Read More →
