Hack your walk with Nordic Walking Guy’s 3 rules:

- Be consistent!
- Remember everything counts but not everything matters!
I came across an article that suggested how much soluble fiber to eat to keep your microbiome in good working order.
Main point: “…getting at least 8 to 10 grams of soluble fiber (found in oats, seeds, beans, and certain fruits and vegetables) per day can significantly decrease the antibiotic-resistant microbes in your gut.”
More about it:
- “…your gut contains certain microbes that can resist very common antibiotics. Common antibiotics such as tetracycline and aminoglycoside are needed for many different health conditions, and experts around the globe are concerned that our gut’s resistance to these antibiotics may continue to get worse in the future.”
- “Antimicrobial resistance is found in your gut microbiome, and those microbes are known to “carry genetically encoded strategies to survive contact with antibiotics.”
Why it matters:
- “If we can care for our gut and continue to cultivate a healthy gut microbiome, we can improve our overall health in ways we may not have even thought of before.”
- “…we may want to eat from diverse sources of foods that tend to be higher in soluble fiber for maximum benefit.”
