In the last few years, such important discoveries have been made that they change the way we understand health. Discoveries that review the knowledge regarding the functioning of our organism. Here then is a shocking discovery that shows how diabetes can depend on this lack of food.
Surely the most significant discovery of recent years stems from a very simple observation. Today there is a lot of talk about the war on bacteria and we buy antibiotics to fight the infections they cause. But the amazing question is: What is 2kg of bacteria doing in our gut? In the intestine, 2 kg of bacteria between good and bad coexist in an important and delicate balance.
A shocking discovery shows how diabetes can be caused by this lack of food
A recent study by the Medical University Innsbruck in Austria, has highlighted some causes that trigger type 2 diabetes. Well these are found precisely inside the bacteria that populate our intestine or intestinal microbiota.
Among the billions of bacteria present there, we find 2 in particular, Roseburia intestinalis and Faecalibacterium prausnitziile. They are two good bacteria in our gut that produce a substance that is also found in food, butyrate.
Butyrate is a short-chain fat, found in butter, milk and cheese. Well, these two bacteria are able to produce it inside our intestines. Thanks to butyrate it is possible to counteract the toxic products of metabolism, which cause imbalances and diseases.
Unfortunately this does not happen if our digestion is disturbed by dysbiosis, with flatulence, gas, poor digestion, acidity and digestive and metabolic imbalance. In this situation the good bacteria are reduced and the intestine is prey to the bad bacteria. In this situation, diseases arise.
What happens with type 2 diabetes
The study shows just how among people with type 2 diabetes, we note the almost lack of butyrate and the decrease of the two bacteria that produce it.
To recreate the right balance in the intestine, you need to consume the right foods that repopulate the 2 bacteria. These foods are those rich in fiber such as barley, oats, brown rice and bran. They are also low-glycemic foods that do not cause blood sugar to rise. By consistently eating these foods, the food reaches the intestines to grow this population of good bacteria. Their presence is extremely important for those suffering from diabetes and other diseases.
Another time it is shown that correct nutrition is the future that awaits us against diseases.
