Gut Microbiome Adjusts to Animal-Based Diets 🤗-A healthy microbiome 🦠 is based on the healthy diet you are eating 🧐. If you are eating a bunch of soluble fiber 🥑🥬, then you will have more bacteria that break down that. If you are eating fermentable foods 🥛, your microbiome with change to support that. And, of course, if you are eating more meat 🍖, your microbiome will support you!-This 2020 article debunks a very common argument that animal-based diets lead to more cardiovascular disease 🤨. The compound trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) has been associated with atherosclerosis. Because animal foods contain a high amounts of its precursor trimethylamine (TMA), it is deduced that animal-based diets cause CVD 🤔.-However, the human gut bacteria 🦠 Bilophila can metabolize TMA into metabolites other than TMAO. Good news is that animal-based diets lead to an increase in Bilophila in the gut 😲. This means there is an adaptation in the gut to prevent excess amounts of TMAO when we eat real, natural animal foods! 🤗-Isn’t the human body (and gut bugs 🦠) so cool?! 🤓-Now Bilophila have been separately correlated with cardiovascular 🫀disease, but this does not show an cause and effect. Also, there are many other markers of the microbiome that are worth looking into verses individual types 💁🏼‍♂️.-The most important marker of microbiome health is diversity. This means not having too many or too little of one bacteria but also having presence of multiple organisms 👍🏼.-#microbiome #meat #cancer #cancersucks #guthealth #carnitine #redmeat #microbiomehealth #microbiota #carnivore #carnivorediet #nose2tail #ketocarnivore #carnivoreish #meatheals #keto #ketosis #antiinflammatorydiet #animalbased #eatfat #healthyfat #brainhealth #foodismedicine #wanitaxigo
