100 Trillion Good Bacteria Call Human Body Home

Your digestive tract is teaming with colonies of bacteria, as many because 100 trillion of them. Keeping a clean and healthy mouth by ensuring your child brushes their teeth twice daily, morning and night is usually super important. Our mouths house 700 species of bacteria. An over development of bad bacteria can result in continuous ingesting of this bad bacteria into the rest of our system. Be aware that sugar residues linger in the mouth and can ferment into bad bacteria so this is partly why sugar is not good for our little types in large quantities.

If you expect to be at a high altitude (8, 000 feet or higher), consult your doctor about medicine to prevent altitude sickness, which can take even more than the starch away of a person. I had been glad I did when visiting Cusco, Peru (11, 154 feet) and rising in the Sacred Valley of the Incas (9, 000 feet). The recommended precautionary is acetazolamide (generic version of Diamox).

Avoid almost all sugars strictly - each molecule of glucose and fructose will produce two molecules of lactic acidity and create a marked tendency to acidosis. Doctor Butt is Chinese and he highlights that Chinese people do not eat fruit at all. The particular rich Chinese do and then only very occasionally. Glucose and fructose are potentially very damaging to the body because they get fermented by streptococcus into D-lactate. This is another mechanism by which sugars can effect in foggy brain. Streptococci are the most abundant bacteria in the mouth and strep mutans (Please see Streptococcus mutans ) is largely responsible to get dental plaque, tooth decay and dental abscesses. Tooth should feel glassy simple!

If you ever feel like it's you against the globe, consider how your belly microbiota feels. Your genes and your environment interact constantly, and your stomach is the largest meeting point. On security duty is your microbiota, the collection of about 100 trillion bacteria and other microorganisms that live in your intestines, especially your large intestinal tract (the colon). As researchers look for explanations for the roots of persistent disease as well since the connections between nourishment and health, the solution may be inside your belly — and whatever you give food to it.

The use of the word 'flora' to describe stomach bacteria is apt. Just like weeds compete for space and nutrients in a garden and 'choke out' healthy plants, so 'bad' bacteria can behave the same manner in the intestines, potentially threatening digestive -- and thus overall - wellness. In a healthy gut bacteria, those activities of the good bacteria predominate over all those that are considered more harmful.
