However, since human beings entered the industrial civilization, not only has our visible nature been destroyed, but many species are facing extinction. We are invisible to the naked eye, but the microbial ecosystem closely related to our lives is also being hit hard!
About this heavy blow, let's talk about the two aspects closest to us.
Diet and medical care.
Now more and more of our diet comes from the modern food industry, which has also formed a huge industrial system. But modern food industry can't tolerate bacteria (microorganisms). Except yogurt, microorganisms in all products are at risk of strangulation. Supermarket has become a sterile battlefield, and natural fermentation is difficult to be elegant. Fermented foods such as vinegar and wine have been disinfected layer by layer before leaving the factory, and the finished products no longer contain living microorganisms. Pickles, pickled mustard tuber and bacon are also increasingly using chemicals instead of microorganisms and salt (you can see the ingredient list of your own food).
The most obvious thing in medical treatment is the abuse of antibiotics. We kill 99% of bacteria because less than 1% will threaten our health, which seriously destroys the microbial system in the body. It also includes our wanton use of various disinfectants. Many children lack contact with nature and soil since childhood and live in a very pure and repeatedly disinfected environment. When they grow up, they are prone to allergic diseases because of the imbalance of microbial system.
Nowadays, we begin to emphasize ecological civilization, and we pay more and more attention to a healthy life. In this way, we should also pay attention to our own and natural microbial ecosystems. You can start with your own diet.
Appropriate supplement of fermented and "bioactive" food!
In recent years, "enzyme" has become more and more popular because of its health care and environmental protection functions. Its production technology has flowed into thousands of households and developed various products. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, "fermentation" and "microorganism".
Besides enzymes, we can also supplement ourselves with many fermented foods in which microorganisms are dynamic, such as vinegar, kimchi, rice wine, steamed bread fermented by yeast and so on.
Fermented food has many benefits to the body.
First, microorganisms first break down food into energy and atoms that can be reused by human body. Reduce the digestive burden of our human body and promote our absorption of nutrients.
Then after fermentation, the nutritional level of many ingredients is greatly improved. Such as vinegar, soy sauce, etc. Synthesize multivitamins during grain fermentation; Japanese natto, nattokinase is synthesized during fermentation; There are many fermentations that can produce amino acids and so on.
Thirdly, fermentation can decompose toxic compounds contained in some plants. For example, oxalic acid contained in some vegetables can be decomposed during fermentation.
Fourthly, fermentation can decompose long-chain protein, fat and carbohydrate that may not be absorbed by human body, and transform them into simple and safe compounds that can be absorbed.
Finally, fermentation can increase the taste of food. You can imagine the taste of soy sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, wine, pickles, ham, salted fish and so on. It is really delicious.
Together, the above items will eventually have an impact on our bodies: improving our digestive ability; Provide more abundant nutrition for our body; Promote the richness and balance of the body's microbial system, improve our vitality and immunity, and make our bodies healthier!
