I’ve been focusing more on gut health lately, and learning about different cultural diets is always eye-opening. Keeping my meals simple with steak and eggs has made a big difference, but adding some supplements I found in a book called Secret Supplements that turn you into a Superhuman really helped take things to the next level. One of the best for my gut has been digestive enzymes it’s been amazing for helping me break down food better and feel more comfortable after meals.
You are from the balkans - go back and eat what your grandparents ate. They ate what was grown in season, they ate full fat, everything they ate was essentially organic, they ate pickled and cured food. They also worked hard usually in a very physical way.
I lived in Turkey throughout my second pregnancy, and I was SO healthy. I gained zero lbs from weeks 0-20. I came back to the US at week 21-39 and I gained 60lbs! I know I was bound to put weight in anyway, but 60lbs in such a short time was devastating and I truly believe it’s the food quality, and what is IN the food in the US.
Here in Ghana, we're not big on desserts and we eat when hungry more so than what time it is. We also have easy access to abundant fresh foods, especially fruits and veggies. Traditionally we're not big leftover eaters.
Under developed countries have better foods than the West... and a slower pace of life. The US has heavily unhealthy, chemical filled, processed, toxic foods while spending most of our time at work making someone else rich.
Growing up in South Sudan, our typical meal are glass of raw milk or 2 eggs in the morning. Following by very large meal in the afternoon mostly around 2pm. And moderately small dinner with a lot of teas in the evening.
South Susan isn’t exactly in the top 10 of healthiest nations. It’s like saying: do you know that in Bangladesh we eat goat liver for breakfast every day…
@@dickschwanzstein1789 lol, I know right. like many other countries, I’m just stating that western world diet is pretty bad and people tent to over eat. Now living in Australia I prefer to eat like when I was in Sudan and I’m less sick.
I have read many books, I listened to many TH-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Makes sense. Sunlight equals vitamin D. Vitamin D equals better immunity. Immune cells are abundant in the gut and they have somewhat of a symbiosis with the microbiome.
Dr. Denis Burkitt (of Burkitt's lymphoma fame) studied the African diet while living there and noted they were exclusively vegetarian and did not have colorectal cancer. He compared this to the diets of African Americans where colorectal cancer was present at a high rate. He concluded the high fiber of the African diet prevented colorectal cancer.
As much as I love the content on this channel, this particular video has many gaps in the studies. Not factoring in dysentery and other acute gut issues in India is a problem. Culturally, people in India don’t tend to go to hospitals unless things are really bad. So, just because the number of documented chronic cases is small, it doesn’t mean that reflects reality, unlike US where documented cases is closer to real numbers.
Indians eat large amount of fermented food. He isn't saying indians are overall healthy but one factor that helps with gut. What survey did you conduct to identify Indians don't goto doctors? As soon as someone appreciate indians, Karen's wake up. How can indians goto moon, how can indians have better gut. Being healthy isn't just about having good gut. There are many factors. Indians have high stress levels, Most don't workout out or sleep only for few hours
One fault is not to differentiate between acute digestion diseases and chronic ones. The former occur in developing countries (I got victim in Africa and Latin America, too), the latter rather in Western countries. As always, accidental may become chronic.
Xylitol lowers certain bacteriodetes and increases certain fremicutes. It also improves lipid metabolism. I knew I read these terms somewhere before. Killing off streptococcus mutans in the mouth is more important to me tho. It's found in arterial plaque, causes inflammation in the body and is killing us before xylitol causes issues. I dont swallow much of the xylitol. I just dont rinse
It might the same mechanism that's beneficial for dental health since it reduces bacterial adherence (i.e. acts like a soap) and good gut bacteria needs to adhere to intestinal lining to stick around. IMO you can compensate for this with probiotics though and constant fermented foods. I didn't know it improves lipid metabolism, so that's interesting! I do know it increases bowel motility, and moderately higher amounts will induce diarrhea (which also could be related to the first point)
Half teaspoon of coconut oil with half teaspoon of xylitol. Swish in mouth as if mouthwash for 5 to 10 minutes. Kills mouth bacteria that leads to gingivitis and cavities. And strengthens gum tissue. It's safe to swallow some if you want, or spit it out to avoid the extra calories. Swallow too much can also cause a bit of laxative effect, no harm just loose bowels for a day. I try to do that at least a few times a week, have had much improved response at dental check ups.
the blue die is probably Methylene blue it was used to combat cyanide poisoning and several other issue, it has also been used in many types of surgeries, and it has been used to tread neurotoxicity. if you were to drink a bottle it would make you sic for obvious reasons but it has been used in micro doses as a neutropic due to the way it helps regulate oxygen in the cells and clear up neurotoxins.
Also not directly India, but every country around it has even worse cardiovascular disease numbers compared to America which alrdy is doing bad. Kinda seems like science is coming together. Eat high carb high oil vegeterian, get good transitime. Die early from humanities two major diseases lool Spain is btw also one of the lowest countries with atherosclerosis. Just like other European countries indulging in cheese, meat and butter who have no alcohol problem.
Not yet, but much compared to nutrition. Genetic. We see this by our immigrants from Sri Lanka. The older are small and slim, the younger less small but obese.
Ya.. 2 reasons 1. nowadays India has fast access to fast food, the ancient knowledge link is broken over junk food 2. Highest population in the world means easy to high numbers (due to #1)
GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic and even natural ones like Berberine and probiotics which produce them are upper GI motility killers and gastric emptying killers, all of which increase total transit time. Of course lots of meat and hard cheeses will do that too, but with the extra bonus of hardened stools. I mentioned all this because someone with motility issues stemming from SIBO-C, IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth), post- infectious IBS from food poisoining which can yield alternating bouts of constipation with diarrhea, or vagus nerve issues, such as gastropareris, or GERD which delayed gastric emptying can greatly exacerbate, all want to do the *opposite* of these anti-digestive weight loss approaches.
My observation is, that transition time depends a lot on what I eat or have eaten the days before. Thats exactly what I would expect. So what does this study really tell you?
Thanks a lot, I was able to see some parallels of experiences I recently made with my digestion - specifically with transit time - and the countrys who are doing well at it.
Depends on the richness of the soil Thomas...the microbes are in the soil that creates (y)our quality food, gut health & great overall health Instead of a 100 supplements per day India has some of the best soil on the Earth Indians who are mainly meatless lack protein bc they (over)cook vegetable dishes, aren't consuming enough of the raw produce & therefore substitute on the carbs for feelings of satiation
I don't drink alcohol and my gut is mangled. Eating one meal a day and mostly meat eggs but bit much fiber at all. Starchy fiber grains seemed to be bad. But now I'm hearing that fiber will help.
They use spices heavily in parts of the world where one might assume bacteria would run completely rampant. Not to say they're completely healthy but given the conditions that exist there, from a western perspective, you'd think it'd be much worse. Spices were a big part of people's lives in the past for millenia but it's something that we've gotten away from, especially in the US.
Complete nonsense, tropical spices were available in Europe only by colonial trade and till recently expensive. I take almost no spices and am extremely fit for my age. There is some benefit, but compared to sports, healthy nutrition and fasting negligible.
@HansGrob complete nonsense? Various spices & herbs have various health benefits. Also cheap. They're used heavily in 3rd world countries with rampant sewage, waste, pollution & pests running about, but they manage to do relatively well given their circumstances. Foreigners from 1st world countries can't handle those conditions. Most of them would get very sick or end up dead.
I have noticed in myself as well as the activity (sitting all day = worse transit time) the other thing that makes a huge difference is hydration. If I don’t drink enough water or just say coffee, transit time will be worse
What was exposed? Other than looking it up and it's a very HIGH sodium probably over priced electrolytes when making it yourself is easy. You actually need far more potassium than you do sodium... unless you have end stage renal failure and have to limit potassium. Also high protein diets are hard on the kidneys.
The beer bellies is because of high stress and no workout. Good gut won't fill your bank account. It's multiple factors that leads to good health. If you look at one factor then most Americans ate burgers and pizza and still managed to live till old age. So why even watch these videos?
@@mithznair EXTREMELY low protein intake is a big reason indians look so sick. If you look at surveys, most indians are getting like 10g of real protein a day
Unfortunately, this may be where insulin resistance is rearing its ugly head. I've seen a LOT of evidence in various studies on NIH and other sites that suggests India may have high rates of insulin resistance and pre-diabetes (as they call it)... this despite a healthier food supply chain than the USA, as an example. Also, eating a lot of fruit... while preferable to eating junk food as we do in the USA... isn't as "healthy" as it was 500 years ago. Today's "fruit" is all "hybridized" and has been selectively bred for higher sugar content (lots of fructose molecules in fruits, all stored as fat around/below the liver). This means lower levels of FIBER per volume... and higher levels of fructose and water per volume. Evidence of this is easy enough to find. Search online for centuries-old paintings (think 1600 or earlier) with cut-open fruits. Watermelon is one of the best examples. Paintings representing watermelon halves from 400+ years ago show the melons as being more the size of today's grapefruits... LOADED WITH SEEDS AND RIND INSIDE... hardly any red "meat" as they call the sweet parts of the fruit. All fruit now is laden with sugar (lots of fructose) and therefore eating a lot of it can lead, ironically, to health issues relating to insulin resistance and excess fructose being stored as fat around the belly region. It's very nuanced and complex, no black/white answers here - lots of gray areas I'm afraid.
One thing I have noticed India, Turkey, Africa the food mainly cooked on ghee or butter, very little if at all consumption of refined oils=the most dangerous and most unhealthy thing for human body. Good luck finding a good 100% cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, if you do it will cost 25/30$ for an ounce.
Croatia, Italy, Greece - every village would make their own Olive oil. All natural and people there lived a very long time, but even their diets have been altered by lazy western food.
My first meal 1 pm bowl movement 10:15pm regularly. That's 9 hours. Did I see a 14-48 hours... I must be mistaken because that seems unbelievable. My first meal is beef bacon eggs and cheese to extend the effect of my longest daily fast... When I sleep, so I eat a very low carb first meal.
Looking at foods eaten for biodiversity is not the full picture. Different environments have different bugs that you swallow, breath in etc. your mother gives you your set point at birth if you are born naturally so why do we think we should have the same gut microbes as India or Africa if your from the UK? I travelled in India for three months and my gut was awful the whole time.
I didn't look at the Africa map, it should be noted that in South Africa a huge portion of their nutrition revolves around mealies which is basically corn. Normally they grind it up and eat it half a dozen ways. I don't know if it's indigenous maze or hybrid corn.
On india vs Spain. Spain despite hacing the lowest transit time, they live 13 more years on average than indians, and also Spain is on average according to charts a 60% happier than India. A lot of parameters influence this, but food definetly influence both, so maybe a low digestion is not That bad as you might think.
No, there was always more influence from France upon the cuisine even of German-speaking Switzerland, not to speak of the Italian influence since the mass immigration of the 1960s. Switzerland was part of the Roman empire, to think it has a lot to do with 'great Germany' is wrong. The German-speakers take a healthy breakfast with lots of unrefined bread, followed then or in the evening with Müesli which contains oats and fruits, hence quite some fibers. Salads and vegetables are even more liked now than in France and Italy. Consequently one of lowest obesity rate and longevity.
Some interesting patterns but it's important to note that this is epidemi-guess-ology at it's worst. It could be none of the factors you hypothesize about. It could have absolutely nothing to do with food (though likely it has a role). The most important thing could easily be antibiotic use, water additives such as flouride or sanitizers, sun exposure/Vit-D consumption, stress, sleep, EMFs, toxins, thyroid issues, etc.
Look at all the chemicals in the water. Both what is added to “treat” the water and herbicides, pesticides , and pfas chemicals. Food varies but everyone drinks water. All of these chemicals affects the body including the micro biome.
Less/no alcohol, less/no junk foods, less time spent eating, and less time spent sedentary. Sounds perfect to me! (Ironically, this also sounds like what humans were doing for EONS, up until the most modern times when all these diseases came out of the woodwork). It's almost like our DNA spent eons incubating in a specific environment of nutrition and activity, and then we radically changed our nutrition and activity, and our DNA cannot adapt to the changes...
I don't know how it's measured, but I eat breakfast and by noon I go to the toilet and I have leftovers from breakfast in my chair. Maybe that's why I'm very thin... Of course it depends on the food I eat...
Tell me you haven't traveled to areas with poor infrastructure. The super fast travelers are because diarrhea and loose stool are common in areas without good sewage/water management infrastructure. India also has a lower rate of obesity, which means that they are unlikely to develop a lot of the digestive diseases. Yes, whole foods are better. We don't want to confuse the benefits of healthy eating with the problems of diarrhea. And I don't think anyone in the US would swap their "wealth" health issues for frequent diarrhea. And before the hate comments start, I've traveled a lot and I love the countries I've visited. This is absolutely NOT a dig on the people, and it obviously doesn't apply to every area in India. It's just a statement regarding the CURRENT state of the sewer and disease prevention systems. Cholera is still endemic there.
I watch a lot of different wellness channels. I think alot of them have strayed away from emphasizing how beneficial fasting is for us. It used to be all the rave but now no one talks about it anymore.
It's hard to go on too much about fasting, but there are several vids by others, like Jason Fung, that go deep on it. Don't eat. Stay hydrated & a small does of salt if you need it. Doesn't make a long video.
@sgriffin8560 yeah I understand that it's hard to go on about it. I just feel like for people starting out might not realize that it plays a much bigger role than what alot of influencers are emphasizing out there lately.
He's just selecting evidence to back up what he wants you to believe, while ignoring any evidence that contradicts his claims. This isn't proper science. It's called "Bro Science" and more people need to be aware of this type of channel. Paul Saladino is the same. He's not a nutritionist, he's a psychiatrist. Wake up people.
My best friends mom convinced us of this when we were about 8 😆. I'm an seriousness, it seems women tend to have a much longer transit time on average though.... so I guess they poop LESS?? 😂
I hear if you make your own yogurt with lactobacillus reuteri and eat it everyday that you can totally dial in your gut flora. Apparently this is the best bacteria we have available for optimizing gut health.
One specific thing would not give you a good gut microbiome. ACV. Honey. Organic fruits and veggies of all colors. Fermented foods. Raw milk seems to be good also. You need calcium to balance health... Smaller portions of meat. Free range organic eggs. Keep in mind certain foods should not be eaten at the same time or they cancel the nutrients content out.
The main reason to get L Reuteri is because if you ever had anti biotics (or your mother before she gave birth or your grand mother etc.) it kills it of.
L. Reuteri is definitely a good microbe to have that was once native to human flora, but I wouldn't be like Dr. Davis, despite the merits of his arguments, and act like L. Reuteri is the magic bullet and be-all and end-all of probitotics. We need diversity in gut flora. And speaking from experience, it can also trigger some histamine or similar allergic-like reactions as you acclimate, especially since most strains of L. Reuteri produce potent bacteriocins (antibiotics) which affect other microbes, both good and bad. I know this because the only L. Reuteri strain that doesn't give me some hives in high doses (a few billions CFU) is Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 aka LRC, which is marketed for Vitamin D production and cholesterol control. It's the only strain that I know of which does not produce bacteriocins and which Dr. Davis recommends against.
More fiber is healthier. And variety helps too, both soluble and insoluble. And definitely cut down ultraprocessed foods and alcohol for better gut health,
I'd say, in terms of medical culture, there's no culture on Earth that has a more vast and ancient knowledge of digestion than India. It's really time we're going to start taking this profound and ancient culture serious.
lol with the India result. I bet most people regardless of nationality have very…y fast transit time in India 🤣 Don’t get me wrong. India is a beautiful country with kind people. I just heard time in time again that people can’t help to keep “going” in India 🤣
India has 500MM people who still defecate outside They take more antibiotics than anywhere in the world on a per capita and actual basis due to the poor food safety Not a country to look to for diet advice
Spain has bad intestinal health because everything is so contaminated with nasty microorganisms. For example, many people I know cannot eat commercial chicken and most meats because of the horrible migraines they cause. Spain is not like the rest of Europe. In Spain, you have rampant glyphosate, caseine A1, no grass fed meats unless you live in a very rich area, but the contamination can still be there even in high quality meats. I dont know what microorganisms cause this, but apparently the Spanish authorities do not seem to care about it all at because it's been getting worse and worse every year. It's impossible to eat healthy in Spain and the risk of getting gastrointestinal disturbance is extremely high. Conclusion: fiber, alcohol, etc. all play a part, but the specific types of micoorganisms found in a particular area is most important, and so to understand the poor gut health, you need to look at "desinfection" practices, such as excessive use of desinfectants, antibiotics, chemicals, etc. something african countries do not do very much at all, but it is rampant in Western countries like the States and Spain. Note that many people in Spain and the United States eat fiber and meat but still do not have the great microbiome africans or other naturally living people have because anything they eat is full of good bacteria, whereas the bacterial floras in Europe and the US are depleted because of desinfection practices.
8:15 You are really pushing this product but be really careful that it does not end up like that green powder stuff did, marketing campaign and design and overall looks really feels like scam or at least product which is exactly the same as all others, one thing to ask your self is why do they invest so much in promotion and design and not in real tests and long term trials and why other pharmaceutical companies are not doing the same thing, meaning the whole campaign is somehow designed, even your words which they made you say, like convincing us that product works, are other companies stupid? Do their products even work, meaning all other companies, if it is a fact that all other single capsule probiotics are delivered "too early" and/or in the "wrong place" what is preventing them to make double capsule or even one thicker, again are they stupid is it that hard to make capsule that dissolves slower if that is the problem, if not then why? Why do you think other companies would not immediately take this double capsule, empty the contents and put their own product inside and test, if it works then literally tomorrow all of them would be either in double capsule or in thicker one? If that delivery mechanism is one of the key points why this works, why would you make it transparent for all of other companies to immediately see it and literally copy it, or is it more likely it is made just for looks because it does look pretty interesting and strange which does attract our attention visually. I bet as soon as they made their product available at least 10 other companies took that concept and tested but I dont see it widely used so what is that telling you? They tested it, proven it does work better and then decided they will not use it, why?

Great info if you watch it, but terribly misleading thumbnail
Thank you!
I don't drink alcohol and my gut is mangled. Eating one meal a day and mostly meat eggs but bit much fiber at all. Starchy fiber grains seemed to be bad. But now I'm hearing that fiber will help.
Honey? Not ice cream? 😂
I'm gonna save everyone sometime.. his conclusion is fasting benefits your digestive system..
Glyphosate hurts microbiome
They use spices heavily in parts of the world where one might assume bacteria would run completely rampant. Not to say they're completely healthy but given the conditions that exist there, from a western perspective, you'd think it'd be much worse. Spices were a big part of people's lives in the past for millenia but it's something that we've gotten away from, especially in the US.
Complete nonsense, tropical spices were available in Europe only by colonial trade and till recently expensive. I take almost no spices and am extremely fit for my age. There is some benefit, but compared to sports, healthy nutrition and fasting negligible.
@HansGrob complete nonsense? Various spices & herbs have various health benefits. Also cheap. They're used heavily in 3rd world countries with rampant sewage, waste, pollution & pests running about, but they manage to do relatively well given their circumstances. Foreigners from 1st world countries can't handle those conditions. Most of them would get very sick or end up dead.
I have noticed in myself as well as the activity (sitting all day = worse transit time) the other thing that makes a huge difference is hydration. If I don’t drink enough water or just say coffee, transit time will be worse
Thanks for sharing today
I sent you a message on Instagram about LMNT being exposed, wondering your thoughts on this new update. Thanks for all the great content!
I have been reading about this also. I switched electrolytes three months ago and it made a huge difference for me. I am done with LMNT!!!
What was exposed? Other than looking it up and it's a very HIGH sodium probably over priced electrolytes when making it yourself is easy. You actually need far more potassium than you do sodium... unless you have end stage renal failure and have to limit potassium. Also high protein diets are hard on the kidneys.
@@mandabean.2405high protein diets are handled just fine by the kidneys unless you have kidney disease or something
@@mandabean.2405 LMNT is found to have a lot more sugar than advertised.
Half the adults in India have massive swolen "beer bellies". You cannot tell me that is from a healthy gut.
The beer bellies is because of high stress and no workout. Good gut won't fill your bank account. It's multiple factors that leads to good health.
If you look at one factor then most Americans ate burgers and pizza and still managed to live till old age. So why even watch these videos?
Comparing countries is also a weak type of evidence. It seems like it wasn't even adjusted for level of activity and wealth
India has some of the best soil on Earth
@@mithznair EXTREMELY low protein intake is a big reason indians look so sick. If you look at surveys, most indians are getting like 10g of real protein a day
Unfortunately, this may be where insulin resistance is rearing its ugly head. I've seen a LOT of evidence in various studies on NIH and other sites that suggests India may have high rates of insulin resistance and pre-diabetes (as they call it)... this despite a healthier food supply chain than the USA, as an example.
Also, eating a lot of fruit... while preferable to eating junk food as we do in the USA... isn't as "healthy" as it was 500 years ago. Today's "fruit" is all "hybridized" and has been selectively bred for higher sugar content (lots of fructose molecules in fruits, all stored as fat around/below the liver). This means lower levels of FIBER per volume... and higher levels of fructose and water per volume.
Evidence of this is easy enough to find. Search online for centuries-old paintings (think 1600 or earlier) with cut-open fruits. Watermelon is one of the best examples. Paintings representing watermelon halves from 400+ years ago show the melons as being more the size of today's grapefruits... LOADED WITH SEEDS AND RIND INSIDE... hardly any red "meat" as they call the sweet parts of the fruit.
All fruit now is laden with sugar (lots of fructose) and therefore eating a lot of it can lead, ironically, to health issues relating to insulin resistance and excess fructose being stored as fat around the belly region.
It's very nuanced and complex, no black/white answers here - lots of gray areas I'm afraid.
Good video, like the study reviews.
One thing I have noticed India, Turkey, Africa the food mainly cooked on ghee or butter, very little if at all consumption of refined oils=the most dangerous and most unhealthy thing for human body. Good luck finding a good 100% cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, if you do it will cost 25/30$ for an ounce.
India has 500MM people who still defecate outside and millions of Caesar of food poisoning every day
Not a counrry to look to for diet advice
Grass fed beef tallow
More and more ghee, butter and tallow are replaced with cheap oils.
Most Indians consume cheap refined oils.
Croatia, Italy, Greece - every village would make their own Olive oil. All natural and people there lived a very long time, but even their diets have been altered by lazy western food.
Latitude. Sunlight.
My first meal 1 pm bowl movement 10:15pm regularly. That's 9 hours. Did I see a 14-48 hours... I must be mistaken because that seems unbelievable. My first meal is beef bacon eggs and cheese to extend the effect of my longest daily fast... When I sleep, so I eat a very low carb first meal.
Looking at foods eaten for biodiversity is not the full picture. Different environments have different bugs that you swallow, breath in etc. your mother gives you your set point at birth if you are born naturally so why do we think we should have the same gut microbes as India or Africa if your from the UK?
I travelled in India for three months and my gut was awful the whole time.
Happy Diwali Thomas 🌟
If the blue dye was methylene blue it was healthy af.
Great video buddy
I didn't look at the Africa map, it should be noted that in South Africa a huge portion of their nutrition revolves around mealies which is basically corn. Normally they grind it up and eat it half a dozen ways. I don't know if it's indigenous maze or hybrid corn.
On india vs Spain. Spain despite hacing the lowest transit time, they live 13 more years on average than indians, and also Spain is on average according to charts a 60% happier than India. A lot of parameters influence this, but food definetly influence both, so maybe a low digestion is not That bad as you might think.
Yes wonder what’s the best & healthy’s honey 🍯
Manuka honey is the best... but any raw preferably local honey is good.
I take low dose naltrexone 4.5mg, and its strengthened my digestive system...
Just going to eat grass the rest of my life life 😂
Has all vitamins except c so it's probably a good idea😊
Hopefully organic, grass fed, free range, pastured, glyphosate free, small batch, unpasteurized grass!
Cow style
@@incorrigiblewizardry106 Glyphosate is a very very very safe Herbicide!! All grass is free of Glyphosate do you why????
They have pesticides
Just tried the 14 day seed probiotic program. Not sure of the benefits.
No, there was always more influence from France upon the cuisine even of German-speaking Switzerland, not to speak of the Italian influence since the mass immigration of the 1960s. Switzerland was part of the Roman empire, to think it has a lot to do with 'great Germany' is wrong. The German-speakers take a healthy breakfast with lots of unrefined bread, followed then or in the evening with Müesli which contains oats and fruits, hence quite some fibers. Salads and vegetables are even more liked now than in France and Italy. Consequently one of lowest obesity rate and longevity.
Some interesting patterns but it's important to note that this is epidemi-guess-ology at it's worst. It could be none of the factors you hypothesize about. It could have absolutely nothing to do with food (though likely it has a role). The most important thing could easily be antibiotic use, water additives such as flouride or sanitizers, sun exposure/Vit-D consumption, stress, sleep, EMFs, toxins, thyroid issues, etc.
If corn is any indication, I would have blue poop in 37 minutes…
Look at all the chemicals in the water. Both what is added to “treat” the water and herbicides, pesticides , and pfas chemicals. Food varies but everyone drinks water. All of these chemicals affects the body including the micro biome.
Tom Brady has the best micro biome.🤣
Try malasana you won't regret if you have gut issues
Less/no alcohol, less/no junk foods, less time spent eating, and less time spent sedentary. Sounds perfect to me! (Ironically, this also sounds like what humans were doing for EONS, up until the most modern times when all these diseases came out of the woodwork).
It's almost like our DNA spent eons incubating in a specific environment of nutrition and activity, and then we radically changed our nutrition and activity, and our DNA cannot adapt to the changes...
Could be vitamin D
I don't know how it's measured, but I eat breakfast and by noon I go to the toilet and I have leftovers from breakfast in my chair. Maybe that's why I'm very thin... Of course it depends on the food I eat...
Heart disease is associate with being taller and bigger as well, we know an average German can be as tall as 6'2
Tell me you haven't traveled to areas with poor infrastructure. The super fast travelers are because diarrhea and loose stool are common in areas without good sewage/water management infrastructure. India also has a lower rate of obesity, which means that they are unlikely to develop a lot of the digestive diseases. Yes, whole foods are better. We don't want to confuse the benefits of healthy eating with the problems of diarrhea. And I don't think anyone in the US would swap their "wealth" health issues for frequent diarrhea. And before the hate comments start, I've traveled a lot and I love the countries I've visited. This is absolutely NOT a dig on the people, and it obviously doesn't apply to every area in India. It's just a statement regarding the CURRENT state of the sewer and disease prevention systems. Cholera is still endemic there.
My advice is to eat alot of aloe vera gel from the plant if you have gut issues. It's a game changer!
How do you eat it? So you have the leaf… and then you do what?
It can cause a chain reaction giving you stomach pain. I would be careful with the aloe vera.
I thought this was about honey!! Not good! - Strike 1
I watch a lot of different wellness channels. I think alot of them have strayed away from emphasizing how beneficial fasting is for us. It used to be all the rave but now no one talks about it anymore.
It's hard to go on too much about fasting, but there are several vids by others, like Jason Fung, that go deep on it. Don't eat. Stay hydrated & a small does of salt if you need it. Doesn't make a long video.
@sgriffin8560 yeah I understand that it's hard to go on about it. I just feel like for people starting out might not realize that it plays a much bigger role than what alot of influencers are emphasizing out there lately.
It’s because fasting is highly stressful for the body and causes weight regain in the long term
I just talked about exactly that
@@boxshreeg1079 lol, generalizations…
He's just selecting evidence to back up what he wants you to believe, while ignoring any evidence that contradicts his claims. This isn't proper science. It's called "Bro Science" and more people need to be aware of this type of channel. Paul Saladino is the same. He's not a nutritionist, he's a psychiatrist. Wake up people.
I realize this is anecdotal, but my transit time is pretty quick when I eat Indian food too! 😂
10000 chemicals in the US food supply probably doesn't help either.
The thumb nail was a click bait for Dr. Paul Saladino.
🙋♂️ if women don't poop how do they measure this?
My best friends mom convinced us of this when we were about 8 😆. I'm an seriousness, it seems women tend to have a much longer transit time on average though.... so I guess they poop LESS?? 😂
A large % of Indians are vegetarians. Asian countries also utilise a deep sitting squat that likely helps with their digestion.
Yes, as well as for evacuation, squat, it's nature's way of evacuating the bowels. It's physiologically superior.
India has 500MM people who still defecate outside and millions of cases of food poisoning every day

@@arnogoossens9892 the streets of India are a testament to this
Didnt India have an extreme high percentage of diabetes patiënts?
Large compared to other countries maybe but actually quite a small amount vs most Indians
Buddy could faster gut movement also have to do with how one sits in or out of a toilet

You try to go straight to Mediterranean and you will get sick.

I hear if you make your own yogurt with lactobacillus reuteri and eat it everyday that you can totally dial in your gut flora. Apparently this is the best bacteria we have available for optimizing gut health.
One specific thing would not give you a good gut microbiome. ACV. Honey. Organic fruits and veggies of all colors. Fermented foods. Raw milk seems to be good also. You need calcium to balance health... Smaller portions of meat. Free range organic eggs. Keep in mind certain foods should not be eaten at the same time or they cancel the nutrients content out.
The main reason to get L Reuteri is because if you ever had anti biotics (or your mother before she gave birth or your grand mother etc.) it kills it of.
L. Reuteri is definitely a good microbe to have that was once native to human flora, but I wouldn't be like Dr. Davis, despite the merits of his arguments, and act like L. Reuteri is the magic bullet and be-all and end-all of probitotics. We need diversity in gut flora. And speaking from experience, it can also trigger some histamine or similar allergic-like reactions as you acclimate, especially since most strains of L. Reuteri produce potent bacteriocins (antibiotics) which affect other microbes, both good and bad. I know this because the only L. Reuteri strain that doesn't give me some hives in high doses (a few billions CFU) is Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 aka LRC, which is marketed for Vitamin D production and cholesterol control. It's the only strain that I know of which does not produce bacteriocins and which Dr. Davis recommends against.
U.S. should process there gains in a way similar or the same as Europe
Love from Bangladesh tomas bro 🇧🇩
India also has the highest incidence of autoimmune disease per capita than any other country. less than 5% of their diet is animal products.

Honey?
Africa is not a country.
And that’s your takeaway from this?
@@steveoutdoors9156it’s a fair takeaway. Lets stop calling entire continents countries
UNLESS IT WAS METHYLENE BLUE
You should really consider that southeast asian countries got much worse of a healthcare and they just don't eat that much because, well...
Please do not show honey on the thumbnail telling us to "eats lots of this" then not mention it in the video 🙄
Ads messed it up badly what a waste
Alcohol is only bad if alcohol dehydrogenases are downregulated.
It becomes harmless acetate like fibre does if dehydrogenases are upregulated.
Japanese🎉🎉🎉🎉
what is life expectancy of a native japanese vs wite japanese person?
More fiber is healthier. And variety helps too, both soluble and insoluble.
And definitely cut down ultraprocessed foods and alcohol for better gut health,
I need wire my jaw shut permanently 😂
I'd say, in terms of medical culture, there's no culture on Earth that has a more vast and ancient knowledge of digestion than India. It's really time we're going to start taking this profound and ancient culture serious.
lol with the India result. I bet most people regardless of nationality have very…y fast transit time in India 🤣 Don’t get me wrong. India is a beautiful country with kind people. I just heard time in time again that people can’t help to keep “going” in India 🤣
Click bait, huh? Lesson learned.
Africa is not a country and the disparity between Egypt vs South Africa could be just as immense as China vs France.
Clickbaited by the honey thumbnail
those numbers doesnt make sense. First column will give you 99%, second 101%, 4th also 99%
Indians as a culture are vegetarians.. meat digests much slower.
India has 500MM people who still defecate outside
They take more antibiotics than anywhere in the world on a per capita and actual basis due to the poor food safety
Not a country to look to for diet advice
No they are not. Stop spreading lies. Only a small proportion of Indians are vegetarian.
@ThomasDeLauerOfficial bro you look more buff by the video. Whats your secret. I have hit a gains wall😂
India also has the lowest risk of alhiemers disease. In turn prob to do with a lot of the deflammatory spices they use with their food.
Spain has bad intestinal health because everything is so contaminated with nasty microorganisms. For example, many people I know cannot eat commercial chicken and most meats because of the horrible migraines they cause. Spain is not like the rest of Europe. In Spain, you have rampant glyphosate, caseine A1, no grass fed meats unless you live in a very rich area, but the contamination can still be there even in high quality meats. I dont know what microorganisms cause this, but apparently the Spanish authorities do not seem to care about it all at because it's been getting worse and worse every year. It's impossible to eat healthy in Spain and the risk of getting gastrointestinal disturbance is extremely high.
Conclusion: fiber, alcohol, etc. all play a part, but the specific types of micoorganisms found in a particular area is most important, and so to understand the poor gut health, you need to look at "desinfection" practices, such as excessive use of desinfectants, antibiotics, chemicals, etc. something african countries do not do very much at all, but it is rampant in Western countries like the States and Spain.
Note that many people in Spain and the United States eat fiber and meat but still do not have the great microbiome africans or other naturally living people have because anything they eat is full of good bacteria, whereas the bacterial floras in Europe and the US are depleted because of desinfection practices.
8:15 You are really pushing this product but be really careful that it does not end up like that green powder stuff did, marketing campaign and design and overall looks really feels like scam or at least product which is exactly the same as all others, one thing to ask your self is why do they invest so much in promotion and design and not in real tests and long term trials and why other pharmaceutical companies are not doing the same thing, meaning the whole campaign is somehow designed, even your words which they made you say, like convincing us that product works, are other companies stupid? Do their products even work, meaning all other companies, if it is a fact that all other single capsule probiotics are delivered "too early" and/or in the "wrong place" what is preventing them to make double capsule or even one thicker, again are they stupid is it that hard to make capsule that dissolves slower if that is the problem, if not then why? Why do you think other companies would not immediately take this double capsule, empty the contents and put their own product inside and test, if it works then literally tomorrow all of them would be either in double capsule or in thicker one?
If that delivery mechanism is one of the key points why this works, why would you make it transparent for all of other companies to immediately see it and literally copy it, or is it more likely it is made just for looks because it does look pretty interesting and strange which does attract our attention visually. I bet as soon as they made their product available at least 10 other companies took that concept and tested but I dont see it widely used so what is that telling you? They tested it, proven it does work better and then decided they will not use it, why?
