Gut Microbiome and Our Health

Why is our gut microbiome important?

Gut microbiomes are all those bacteria, viruses and micro-organisms that live in our gut and they dictate our health.

How is our gut microbiome related to our health?

There are many studies suggesting and showing that the microbiome can make us sick if there is not enough of them or they are not in good health, or they can help restoring our health if maintained well.

Moreover, many studies have shown that the brain is affected by the gut microbiome and vice a versa.

i.e. during school examinations we feel “stomach” sick or nauseas, when we need to perform in front of a crowd, we might feel we are going to vomit, or after a lot of mental exertion we might feel hungry, etc. etc.

Who is in charge of our health?

This is clear evidence that our mental state affects our gut microbiomes at least acutely.

If we are in a chronic state of mind like sadness, depression, etc., then we can expect that our microbiome gut will be affected as well, but in a chronic state.

By falling into chronic states, we might expect reduction in the number of gut microbiomes or decreasing in the health of our gut microbiomes.

You are in charge, you can make the difference.

Think simple, if you are rushing you might not eat the proper foods as you don’t have time to prepare. You also might be eating in a rush, something that is not in favor of what the body requires. In the other hand, if you are sad, tired, etc. you might not be willing even to eat.

Therefore, if we don’t maintain our gut microbiome in check, we might expect diseases to develop.

This is a vicious circle connecting the mind and the gut.

Uric Acid and Salt

Is the consumption of salt a contributor to high level of uric acid?

Yes, salt 🧂 can be the cause for high levels of uric acid.
We know that salt might be the cause for high blood pressure. What we also need to know is that salt 🧂 can be the cause for high levels of uric acid.

what is the mechanism for which salt becomes uric acid?

When we consume salt 🧂 and don’t drink enough water, 💦 the metabolism of salt will be transformed to fructose.
This fructose will degrade the ATP generation that will cause an increase of the ADP and AMP molecules.
Ultimately the AMP will metabolize into uric acid.

How is high uric acid affect our health?

The uric acid can be present inside the cell or outside it. When is inside the cell, it will create oxidation which is a destructive process to the creation of the ATP.
When the uric acid is outside the cell, it will be transformed into crystals that will cause gout.
So, if you want to know the source of the high blood pressure or the reasons for gout, check the level of the uric acid.
‼️Therefore, it is recommended not to consume too much salt or fructose (sweet fruits), and to drink plenty of water.

Nutrition and Nourishment

Why do we need nutrition and how it relates to nourishment?

Nutrition and nourishment is an essential activity we need order to be in good health.

Where does nutrition start from?

Nutrition starts in the mouth, but unfortunately nourishment does not end in only the foods we eat.
Nourishment also relates to what our eyes see, what we smell, what we hear and what we touch.
We can choose what foods to eat, but most of the time we cannot choose what our senses receive. These signals received by our senses will eventually nourish our mind.
Bad nutrition can affect us in a short or long term. We can get stomachache, diarrhea, etc. and after a few days the body heals itself.
The nourishment that we receive from our senses goes straight to our mind. Once this information is received it stays in the mind and it is very difficult to get it out, and in times this information will pop up again.
Therefore, don’t think about nutrition as the only nourishment the body needs, but rather think that nutrition is what the body and soul needs on the daily basis.

Is our mind related to our gut nourishment?

Mind issues are a serious matter that should not be left untreated for too long, neither its importance be diminished since the mind and the body is one organism and must kept healthy as individually and together.
Unhealthy mind can lead to improper metabolism, cravings unhealthy foods, cravings bad habits, increase or sudden weight changes and more.
If you experience skin issues, most likely that the symptoms are related to a gut malfunctioning that can be linked to the mind not functioning properly.

Aconitum Napellus

Is one of the of the famous remedies, which is indicated when the person is in fear of dying and believes that it will happen now. It is for inflammatory conditions, especially those of the respiratory organs, and acute inflammations of all the organs and tissues. The early stages of inflammations of serous membranes, pleuritis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, catarrh and bronchitis. Constriction and anxious oppression of the chest, with difficulty of breathing. Asthma of attack of suffocation, with anxiety. Sensation of heaviness and of compression at the chest. Painful pricking in the chest, chiefly when breathing, coughing, and moving (even the arms). Stitches through the chest and side, especially when breathing and coughing.

Arsenicum Album

Is indicated for people whose mental restlessness is accompanied by physical weakness to move, cannot rest in any place, changes places continually, lies now here and now there. In Arsenicum Album the person is anxious and fears death but cannot predict the time it will happen. He thinks that it is useless to take medicine, as the condition is incurable and is surely going to cause death. In Arsenicum there is a tendency to drink water frequently but in very small amounts. The respiration is shorth and at night it is harder to breath producing asthma attacks. The person wants for fresh air to help the breathing but he cannot breath.

Nux Vomica

According to Dr. Dewey, Nux vomica is a useful remedy when the asthmatic attacks are brought on by gastric disturbances; simple spasmodic asthmas; there is some relief by belching, the person must loosen the clothing. It must also be thought of in those who drink much coffee or liquor. Irritable bilious temperaments also correspond to this remedy. Zingiber is also a remedy for asthma of gastric origin, and the attacks come on toward morning; the person must sit up but there is no anxiety.

Antimonium tartaricum [Ant-t]

According to Dr. Dewey, this remedy is used largely in some form by the allopathic school in asthma, and it is homoeopathic to certain cases. The great keynote for the remedy is the presence of fine mucous rales throughout the chest, finer and smaller rales than are found under Ipecac. With this remedy the chest seems full of phlegm, with inability to expectorate it. There is great dyspnoea, the patient must sit up, and there are suffocative attacks coming about three o’clock in the morning. Like Ipecac, too, there is great difficulty in the expiratory effort. Antimonium tartaricum is especially adapted to the extremes of life, suiting the asthmatic attacks of the aged and the dyspnoea of the young children when due to pulmonary affections. A characteristic of the remedy is that there is a sensation that the person cannot get enough air.

Therefore, it is important to consult with the team of SAGE Homeopathy to understand who you are in particular and what causes you to have the lung issues

Lung Diseases and Nutrition

The nervous system is directly connected to the gut and to the immune system; that is why issues affecting one system will also affect the others. In cases of lung disorders, it is important to support the gut and the immune system as well.

Eating a whole food diet can help you deal with your lung illness. Your diet should include plenty of vegetables, especially those rich in B vitamins (leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.), fruits (bananas, citrus, avocado, etc.), whole grains, legumes (beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, etc.), nuts and seeds (sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, almonds, etc.) and sea vegetables. If you are not vegetarian, good sources of B12 vitamins are grass-fed beef and lamb, wild-caught cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, etc.), chicken and turkey, eggs, yogurt, etc. If you are vegetarian, nutritional yeast is probably the single best source of all B vitamins but you may also need to take a supplement.

At the same time, you should eliminate consumption of sugars, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, and foods that cause you allergies.

It is also important to supplement with omega 3 fish oil and probiotics. Some adaptogenic herbs, such as ashwagandha, are also very helpful when dealing with issues like anxiety and depression as a consequence of your lung disease. Vitamin C and magnesium may also be beneficial. There are many other supplements that can help depending on the disorder.

Lifestyle changes are usually required in order to reduce stress and anxiety. For example, deep breathing exercises can help reduce anxiety and taking a walk in nature can do wonders to improve your mood and help you relax.

At Sage homeopathy we can also provide you with nutritional advice and help you make the right choices for your body and your mind.
