The importance of gut flora

Functional food has its purpose.  Gut flora plays a huge role in quieting inflammation.  Maintaining a diet rich in good bacteria is the goal.  Foods to eat on a regular basis include mushrooms, sauerkraut, seaweed.  Bacteria in the stomach live for about 20 mins so the environment can change over the course of one meal.  It is important to eat functional food consistently at every meal for prolonged maintenance to keep that inflammation quiet.

Marathon training starts this week...stay tuned.
