What is The Yogurt Diet
My utmost desire when I started researching the Yogurt Diet was to find a solution to end the obesity and disease epidemics that have proliferated in our modern times due to poor nutrition and lack of a healthy relationship with food. The Yogurt Diet has been carefully formulated with many people in mind – those who suffer from ailments such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, skin disorders, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, eating disorders, hormone imbalances, ADD, ADHD, heartburn, migraines, infertility, impotence, autoimmune disorders, IBS, ulcers, colitis, colon cancer…As scientific evidence keeps mounting up for more evidence. The goal when you embrace the Yogurt Diet is to achieve overall balance that will lead to ideal weight and radiant health; it is as much a preventative measure as it can be a cure to many disorders. I hope to teach everyone how to live a healthier and more balanced and fulfilled life through wholesome delicious foods and the well researched miraculous effects of probiotics and yogurt . The Yogurt Diet is about achieving balance within every system of the body, so that it can reorganize itself and begin working optimally, with natural weight loss being part of the wonderful side effects.
The Yogurt Diet will carefully explain why certain foods promote uncontrollable cravings and eventually lead to disease, and why you should stop eating them. It will teach you why the body falls out of harmony and how to bring it back to balance with wholesome foods, not medications, as so many people try to do today. The Yogurt Diet will open your eyes to why many diseases occur, and it will teach you that most ailments stem from the same problem – a weakened immune system due to a lack of healthy bacterial flora in your gut. You will also learn that by simply boosting your immune system and bringing harmony back into the body with a combination of wholesome foods and three servings of yogurt a day, many ailments are not only preventable, but also reversable. When the body is unbalanced, disease has an invitation to run rampant, and even certain foods that you may think are healthy may actually be promoting harm to your body. Such is the case with whole wheat and wine.
In the following chapters you will learn the various causes that lead to the depletion of the gut flora in the body, how this directly affects your weight and health, and ultimately how, with the right foods and the miracle of yogurt, you can literally eat yourself back to health. The Yogurt Diet proposes to conquer the health crisis we are facing today in industrialized countries, leading to rising health costs and an overly sick and medicated population.
The immediate goal of the Yogurt Diet is to purify and replenish the body in order to bring it back into harmony. When eating a specific list of wholesome foods and avoiding other offending foods, the body naturally finds its balance and weight loss occurs effortlessly. This simple diet can accomplish that lofty goal in two ways:
1. To lose weight, it is of major importance to cleanse internally by eliminating pathogenic substances and organisms that can take over the body’s various systems, causing inflammation and weakening the defenses of the immune system.
-
2.As the body detoxifies, it is absolutely imperative to replenish it by reintroducing vitamins and minerals, re-establishing a healthy gut flora through its probiotic properties and restocking all the enzymes needed for proper digestion and metabolism.
The objective when detoxifying is to purify and repair all organs in the body so that all systems function properly – including the immune, endocrine and metabolic systems – thus allowing it all to work in unison once again. This will not only restore health, but will eventually allow the body to find its ideal weight naturally. In a nutshell, the Yogurt Diet will give you the knowledge and tools you need to achieve optimum health and weight. It’s a diet with which you’ll still be able to eat a delicious array of wholesome foods and herbs so that you’ll never feel deprived or hungry while at the same time adding the magic of probiotic yogurt. Eating this miraculous food will help you colonize the walls of your GI tract with a healthy bacterial fauna and replenish enzymes in your digestive system, which undoubtedly have become depleted during years of abuse, including the eating of processed foods, drinking alcohol, popping antibiotics and other drugs, lack of sleep, stress and age. At the same time, your immune system will be restored so that it works at maximum efficiency to fight disease and obesity.
Prevent and Even Reverse
Obesity, allergies, diabetes, celiac disease, heartburn, lactose intolerance, migraines, eating disorders, high cholesterol, fatigue, hormone imbalances, osteoporosis, eczema, acne, arthritis, ADD, ADHD, infertility, impotence, IBS, stomach ulcers, polyps, ulcerative colitis, hypertension, colon cancer, yeast and sinus infections, menopause symptoms, etc...
The Great Importance of Friendly Bacteria in the Gut
When you eat yogurt, the lactic acid bacteria travel through the digestive tract, both establishing colonies on the mucus walls of your intestines and also passing through, as transient, performing and aiding in digestion as well as contributing to other healthful bodily functions. Probiotics are also part of the friendly organisms that live in your gastrointestinal tract, also known as gut flora, among many other interesting names. Not to worry, I’ll try to expand the vocabulary, giving you every known name for these friendly bacteria present in the body. The microbiota of the digestive tract is made up of billions of healthy microbes that live in the gastrointestinal tract. As mentioned earlier, the word probiotic derives from the Greek words pro and biotic. Together they mean for life. We need them because they’re essential – no surprise here – for life. You have a symbiotic relationship with the colonies of probiotic bacteria that make your body their home because you need each other to live healthy long lives. The better care you take of them; the better they will take care of you.
The fermentation of foods by LAB is a means for these probiotic bacteria to obtain food and energy. Just as we do, probiotic bacteria also require amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and carbohydrates to thrive. This is something to always keep in mind when you’re eating, because it is with wholesome foods that you nourish the good microbes in your digestive tract and keep them working their miracles for a lifetime. A diet full of sugar, corn syrup, highly processed carbohydrates and animal meats, pasteurized fruit juices and too much alcohol – basically most processed foods on the supermarket shelves today – combine to starve your healthy gut flora and instead promote the growth of harmful organisms in your gut.
Essentially, what happens during lactic acid fermentation is the pre-digestion of foods by probiotic bacteria, which in turn produce digestive enzymes that make foods easier for us to digest while also enhancing their nutritional value. This process allows for some vitamins and minerals to become more readily available to the human body, and clearly shows why your friendly little guys play a major role in your health.
The gut micro-flora is responsible for building a fully developed and competent immune system. Bacteria grow in colonies around the mucous membranes of your gastrointestinal tract, acting as a first line of defense to prevent illness by fighting damaging elements from spreading to the rest of your body. The lactic acid produced by LAB possess anti-microbial activities which defend your body from harmful living organisms that enter daily in foods you eat, the water you drink and the air you breath. This is the exact same mechanism used when probiotic bacteria ferment sugars, proteins and fats present in milk, producing an acidic environment that prevents spoilage organisms from growing, thus giving yogurt its long shelf life naturally, without pasteurization and the addition of chemicals and man-made preservatives.
Consuming yogurt daily is a primary way to restore the much needed colonies of healthy bacteria in your digestive tract. The intestinal flora not only aid in digestion, but also acts as a defensive barrier between the outside world and your entire system. Among other things, they are responsible for stopping allergens, microbes and other toxins from damaging the mucus membranes that protect the inside of your body, while also preventing harmful substances from entering the blood stream and causing illness. Adding yogurt to the diet has proven to be highly effective in reducing or eliminating the effects of allergies, such as eczema, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, asthma, and more. Probiotic bacteria also alleviate symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. The lactic acid bacteria present in yogurt is vital in order to maintain general health. A proper balance of intestinal flora produces organic compounds – including lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid and short chain fatty acids – which are essential for optimum health. At this point the importance of maintaining a good balance of probiotic bacteria in your intestines should be crystal clear.
