People now are living longer due to medical procedures, drugs, and other treatments, but they are often too sick to really enjoy the wisdom that comes with age. “We are living longer, but we are not living better,” said world- renowned heart surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry. ” This is another paradox of aging. In his latest book”The Longevity Paradox” he outlines the plan for extending both lifespan and healthspan, and it all centers around one thing: bacteria. He says that gut microbiome contains bacteria( “gut buddies” as Gundry calls them) that impact everything from your weight and appearance of your skin , to autoimmune system, heart disease and cancer.Dr Gundry developed unique program -combination of conventional medicine, nutritional therapy and exercises with focus on strengthening gut microbiome. “Gut Buddies” produce vitamin B, antibodies, neurotransmitters. In the cold time of the year, microbiome produce more GABA and serotonin- both calming brain mediators. Dr Gundry talks about Leaky gut syndrome which may be produced by lectins irritating gut lining. If pieces of lectins pass gut lining, they produce in the body wide-spread inflammation which leads to developing majority of chronic diseases. That is why it is so important to manage your gut flora, gut lining and know, which food may be dangerous. Eating food with less content of lectins or using methods of food preparation such as fermentation and soaking, will help to stabilize mirobiome. Patients, treated on his program, become healthier, they ” age in reverse”.In the ” Longevity Paradox” Dr. Gundry outlines his program, gives detailed list of food to eat and food to avoid, explain how to implement “brain wash” and ” Scottish Shower”. I think this program is worth to try… Many many years ago Hippocrates said: “All disease begins in the gut.” The good news is that all disease can be stopped there as well.
