24.01.2022 Fermented foods. Suddenly everywhere, & with good reason. If you are new to them, or want to know more, look no further! What is fermentation? Fermentation is a centuries-old process of food preservation a way of prolonging the expiry date of dairy products & vegetables before refrigeration was an option. Lots of the foods we consume today are fermented bread, cheese, coffee and chocolate however, not all of these contain the live cultures that are going to diversify yo...ur gut microbiota. For living microbes we have to look to the likes of Jun, Kvass & Sauerkraut, to name a few. In these, the fermentation process starts to break down the food resulting in a nutrient rich end-product that’s easier to digest. So, what are the benefits? Good health starts with good gut health. As gastroenterologist, Will Bulsiewicz, states ‘Gut health IS immune health’. Anything that benefits the gut, fermented foods included, also improves our immune response, supports digestion, & may even aid weight management. Fermented foods can be a super tasty way to get more live cultures into your diet and encourage diversity in your gut bacteria. It's not always known which specific strains of bacteria are found in fermented foods but we know there are different broad types of bacteria in each type of fermented food. See more

19.01.2022 What's a synbiotic? The word "synbiotic" refers to the combination of probiotics & prebiotics & how they work together, in synergy, to improve health. Some recent research suggests that combining particular synbiotics could exert weight-reduction and anti-inflammatory effects. When prebiotics are added to the probiotics, there is improved viability of the probiotic. This basically means that if you combine probiotics with prebiotic "food," for those probiotics, it might possi...bly be more likely to survive & plant its flag in your gut. In other words, you should always be eating prebiotic fiber-rich foods along with your probiotics. So, if you are looking for a way to help give your gut microbiome a boost, particularly in the setting of certain kinds of infections and IBS, you might want to consider a probiotic. The most beneficial probiotics are the ones found in fermented foods. Not only do you get the beneficial affects of the microbes that come with the foods, but you also get the benefits of the foods themselves, including the vitamins, minerals, & other phytonutrients. If you eat a well-balanced diet that is rich in prebiotic foods, probiotic foods, & other gut-healing, microbiome-balancing herbs, spices, teas, & foods, you will be well on your way to being one step ahead of the game. This synbiotic style of eating will help keep your gut microbiome diversity & richness scales more ideal. Your whole body will benefit from it!

17.01.2022 Weight gain during menopause- How can this be addressed effectively? Here are 3 causes of weight gain during this time & 3 natural solutions to help combat Menobelly and other symptoms like bloating and low energy: Cause #1 - A drop in estrogen levels Estrogen helps to regulate metabolism and weight... During menopause, we tend to see a drop in estrogen, which leads to faster weight gain. Solution: Curcumin Curcumin is a phytoestrogen (a plant source of estrogen) which helps menopausal women to rebalance their estrogen levels in a healthy and natural way. Natural phytoestrogens like curcumin have been recommended for its ability to manage estrogen levels without other side effects. It is also a natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory herb that supports weight control, digestion, joint pain & cools hot flashes. Curcumin is the main active ingredient found in turmeric. For the best effect, make sure to take Golden Turmeric Root Extract (95% Curcuminoids) together with Black Pepper, which helps to increase the absorption of Curcumin. Cause #2 - Inflammation A drop in estrogen can also cause higher inflammation levels High Inflammation levels can cause expanded fat cells, increased fat absorption and weight gain. Solution: Moringa Leaves Moringa leaves provide an even stronger anti-inflammatory benefit than curcumin and are packed with several essential minerals like iron. During menopause, iron levels drop severely which can lead to anxiety, mood swings and brain fog. A daily dose of moringa replenishes iron levels in the body and helps women with low energy feel recharged in the morning. Aim to have at least 350mg of Moringa Leaf every day. Cause #3 - Bad gut bacteria A drop in estrogen levels during menopause can cause bad bacteria to grow quicker in the gut (which may also lead to gut inflammation and leaky gut) This is why it’s common to have belly bloating, weight gain, and other digestive issues during menopause. Probiotics are great for strengthening the gut and populate it with good bacteria. Pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut and kefir are rich in probiotics that introduce good bacteria in the gut. PLUS Di’s Living Probiotics -: Soda, Ginger Jun, Moringa & Papaya Leaf Elixir, Probiotic Powder, Probiotic Dukkah, Jelly, Leather & Turmeric Kraut & Dehydrated moringa Leaf in season (out of stock this winter)

15.01.2022 Lacto-fermented foods include my Living Probiotic soda, powder, Dukkah, leather, jelly, fermented garlic, carrot sticks, salad dressing, moringa & papaya elixir & turmeric Kraut. Lacto-bacteria is already present on the skin of many vegetables like cabbage & spinach. I have a probiotic-rich kitchen that has seen many successful ferments already so I do not need any additional help to get the right bacteria in my ferments. It is already present in the air of my home. Lacto-fe...rmentation is the process by which bacteria break down the sugars in foods & form lactic acid. During lacto-fermentation, lactic acid bacteria break down carbs into lactic acid and carbon dioxide. This creates an acidic, low-oxygen environment that encourages the growth of good bacteria and prevents the growth of other microorganisms. Most commercial fermented foods are pasteurised after fermentation, which kills all live bacteria & allows for a longer storage time. However, these foods don’t provide the health benefits of live bacteria cultures. In addition to preservation, fermentation makes food easier to digest, reduces or eliminates the need for cooking, extends shelf life, reduces food waste, & adds distinctive flavours, textures, & aromas Populations of lactic acid bacteria are found throughout nature, including in animals & humans. Those found in milk & on fruits, grains, vegetables, & meat can be used. Lacto-fermentation retains & may even increase the nutrient availability of foods, improve heart & brain health, improve digestion & have anti-inflammatory, cancer-fighting, immune-boosting, antidiabetic, & anti-obesity benefits. Lacto-fermentation uses lactic acid bacteria to simply & effectively to preserve food.

13.01.2022 A constant ingredient in my Kvass (used in my soda, leather, powder, Dukkah, Jelly & pet probiotics)

11.01.2022 All my fermented products are lacto-fermented with pure local natural raw honey. It has not been heated or treated from the hive to the jar. I use raw honey in fermenting as it features naturally occurring yeast & enzymes. By fermenting honey we naturally increase those benefits. Fermented honey has been the sweetener of choice for thousands of years. It is one of the most delicious, healthy & sustainable sweeteners available. Honey ferments are an excellent food preservative.... They just keep getting tastier as they age. It’s known to have healthful medicinal properties that are anti-bacterial, anti-viral & boost your immune system. The pollen in raw honey is beneficial to those suffering allergies. The enzymes in a honey ferment also help you digest foods that you consume & are rich in beneficial bacteria, which have been proven to encourage healthy gut flora. The lacto-fermentation of raw honey increases these benefits. Honey is anti-microbial in nature, but it kills microbes primarily by suffocation, so mixed with water, its antimicrobial properties are somewhat diminished & it becomes a happy home & food source for airborne yeasts & organisms to feast on & produce a traditional fermented product.

10.01.2022 Leaf & stems edible with health benefits. A new seasonal ingredient in my probiotic Kvass - Soda

09.01.2022 Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food, the age old quote by Hippocrates is the ideology of today’s health conscious population. Why take probiotics on an ongoing basis? Many people choose to take probiotics every day, whilst some might just use them periodically or whenever they feel that they need a little support. Whichever way you find works best for you, it is worth remembering that many factors can negatively affect the probiotic colonies in our gut.... So, whilst you might think that once you have established good gut flora that it can then be left to its own devices, in reality our lifestyles are now so challenging for our microbiome that many of us need to nurture it on an ongoing basis. Most people know that antibiotics do not differentiate between the good and bad bacteria in our guts, and therefore negatively impact on our probiotic colonies, but we often do not look at all the different sources of antibiotics in our food chain. Not only are we exposed to antibiotics when we take them ourselves, but we are exposed to low levels all the time if we eat non-organic meat and dairy produce. These have a similarly negative impact on our gut flora. In addition, we are often exposed to chemicals such as chlorine in our drinking water. Chlorine is a strong anti-microbial agent, and whilst it helps to keep undesirable bacteria out of our water supply, it also damages our delicate gut flora. Other factors that deplete our flora include, over-consumption of sugar, contraceptive pills, HRT medication and stress. With all of these things in mind it is easy to see why a daily top-up of probiotics might be a good idea for many people. Like most vitamins and minerals, we do not produce probiotics ourselves. Many people feel that probiotics give them that extra bit of confidence and a little health boost. Due to unfavourable lifestyle factors that compromise our gut flora it may well be better to replenish our probiotic colonies on an ongoing basis, and this is why many people choose to take probiotics every day.

08.01.2022 Lacto Fermentation: The term lacto refers to lactic acid, which is a type of acid that’s produced upon the breakdown of sugar in an oxygen-free environment. LACTO- VS. LACTOSE As a vegan, You might see a word starting with Lact & your guard immediately go up- assuming it’s going to have something to do with dairy, or lactose. But there’s actually a second meaning for lacto, other than relating to milk. It’s short for lactobacillus, a family of bacteria that create lactic acid. So yes, lacto-fermentation is totally vegan, no need to worry!

05.01.2022 Probiotics Years of antibiotic use, eating sugar-laden food, & eschewing microbe-feeding prebiotic fibre foods are all making you fatbut not for the reason you think. This pattern of poor eating has armed the bad bacteria who live in your gut with the weapons they need to overtake the good guys: probiotics. And when your good gut bugs are depleted, they not only won't be able to fend off weight-inducing inflammation, they also can't help you keep your metabolism humming, you...Continue reading
