According to the Institute of Medicine – get your fiber! Read the IOM report by clicking here
Getting around 25 grams of fiber a day for women and around 38 grams of fiber for men can be essential in defending against the Coronavirus!
Let’s take a look at how to naturally boost the immune system now to fight off symptoms before they show up by focusing on natural prebiotic ( think of non digestible fiber )foods so that they can mix with probiotic (think yogurt) foods.
What does that mean?
It’s all about how the intestines are nourished with a balanced diet of fresh food that contains good bacteria in our gut. The minimum for best gastro health practices can be reviewed in the 10 Copro Commandments by Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RDN, CDN.
How Does Consuming Fiber Relate To Coronavirus Treatment?
Making a point to consume fiber helps your body fight off all diseases. Let’s look at the process of why and how this works.
Bacteria have been fighting viruses since the dawn of life in the universe .
Picture a flowerbed-
As long as there is not too much fertilizer – the flower grows. Then it will pollinate, and spread more seeds which turn the flowerbed into a beautiful healthy garden .
The key is balancing the seeds and the fertilizer. A seed will not grow if it’s overwhelmed with fertilizer.
The right way to plant is usually by starting with fresh soil without any seeds or flowers(the intestine is the fresh soil ), then planting the seeds (prebiotic fiber ) and then adding fertilizer (probiotic yogurt).
This is like coaching a championship level defense into being a powerhouse that will punish a team into being scoreless for an entire game.
The goal is to promote a healthy intestinal environment in our bodies for friendly bacteria to protect the end zone from a league leading touchdown pass offense launched by viruses.
Would it make sense to add fertilizer to a flower bed with little to no seeds to grow into a garden? Time to break down Prebiotic food options…
What Are Some Foods That Help Coronavirus Treatment?
Non digestible carbs are basically fibers that friendly bacteria in our gut consume as food. When that happens it’s through a process of fermentation(that doesn’t mean moonshine is brewing in your gut).
This helps good bacteria build strength to defend you.
Back to the analogy – the fertilizer feeds the seeds to grow a garden.
- Leeks
- Onions
- Radishes
- Carrots
- Coconut Meat & Flour
- Flax and Chia Seeds
- Tomatoes
- Bananas
- Garlic
- Chicory Root
- Dandelion Greens
- Jerusalem Artichoke
- Jicama
- Asparagus
- Yams
In a garden, you’ll want to spread the fertilizer evenly for the seeds to sprout evenly. The prebiotics you consume react differently in different locations of your colon.
This means it’s a good idea to avoid eating the same ones over and over. So mix these up as best as you can to evenly spread your good bacteria throughout your colon to avoid any weaknesses on the front line of defense against a virus.
How Does Bacteria Help Coronavirus Treatment? And Why Should You Care?
The bacteria in our bodies are extremely diverse in that the genetic code is much greater within them than our own genetic makeup.
This collective bacteria is called a microbiome. The more lush the garden of bacteria in our gut, the less likely a pathogen can squeeze through and cause damage to vital functions in our body. A weak point in the microbiome can lead to inflammation of the colon.
This sets the stage for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease. So eat your asparagus and yams!
Otherwise, you can end up in a friendly fire situation where your immune system is fighting both good and bad bacteria. Try combinations you already know about like chicken and leafy greens . Add some tomatoes and leeks.
Finish off with some fruit, oatmeal,
Healthy digestion is important for our immune system when defending against a virus. Diarrhea and constipation tend to be complications that come about due to a weakened immune system.
Cancer patients tend to have compromised immune systems which is why they are recommended to consume foods like the ones we have just reviewed due to their abundance of anticarcinogens.
We tend to feel fatigued when our bodies battle foreign invaders. We need to produce lactic acid to reduce the risk of cancer as well.
Bacteria produce lactic acid, and bacteria needs food to have the energy to produce. So don’t skimp on those carrots!
These foods provide special ingredients consumed by good bacteria which lead to a smart bomb called Butyrate which is like the secret weapon towards fighting cancer. It’s been know to cause cellular suicide among cancer cells!
Can Fiber Help Diabetics With Coronavirus Treatment?
Diabetics tend to have weakened immune responses. They often experience severe outcomes towards infections because of inflammation.
Think of leaving bread crumbs to find your way back if you get lost. In our blood there are markers, which are like the bread crumbs that lead back the fact that something in the body is experiencing inflammation.
That means there wasn’t enough good bacteria to protect something in the body. That means there could be an imbalance between fertilizer and seeds.
It’s common for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics to gain massive amounts of healthy habits after being diagnosed since the right diet can make or break their lifestyles.
Fiber – is a key ingredient.
Should You Consider Supplements For Coronavirus Treatment?
One thing that is worth mentioning…careful with consuming anything that is prebiotic that was not grown out of the ground.
Yes – I am referring to supplements.
Supplements don’t always disclose everything that’s being sold to you in the container. Is it ever a good idea to put something in your body when you don’t even know what it really is?
Conclusion
A balanced diet with a focus on fiber will always help anyone against any disease. The key is having a healthy gut.
Fiber builds up the body’s defense against viruses by preventing inflammation. Inflammation is the source for complications.
Randomized attacks lead to different medical conditions that allow prescription drugs to be reccommended to suppress symptoms – but not cure diseases. The best offense is a good defense.
