WHY WE SHOULD ALL TRY TO EAT LIKE PEOPLE IN RURAL PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Western diets – high in processed foods and low in fiber – Associated with Obesity, Diabetes and Heart Disease. These diets Don’t Only Harm Our Bodies, They Also Harm Gut Gut Microbomes, The Complex Community of Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses Found In Our Intestinal Tract That Are Important For Our Health.

Scientists, Including My Colleagues and Me, Are Actively Searching for Ways to Create Healthy Microbomes to Prevent Chronic Diseases. My Search has Taken Me To Papua New Guinea.

I have long been fascinated by this country, with its Remote Valleys Altost Untouched by the Modern World Untild 1930, More Than 800 Languages, Ancient System of Sustenance Agriculture and Entire Communities Living to Non-Industrialized Lifestyle. This fascination kicked off a thrilling nine-type research project involving researchers from eight country, Which led to Paper published In the Scientific Journal Cell.

In Previous ResearchMy Team Studied the Gut Microbomes of Rural Papua New Guineans. We Discoved Microbomes That Are More Diverse Than Their Westernized Counterparts, Encrys in Bacteria That Thrive On Dietary Fiber, and with Lower Levels of Inflammation-Causing Bacteria That Are Typically Found Who Eat Highly Processed Foods.

This information provided Hints on How to Perhaps Redress The Damage Caused to Our Gut Microbomes.

The Traditional Diet in Rural Papua New Guinea is rich in unproccessed plant-based foods that are Full of Fiber But Low in Sugar and Calories, Something I was able to See Myself on a Field Trip to Papua New Guinea. Deterned to Create Something Everyone Could Use to Benefit Their Health, Our Team Took What We Saw In Papua New Guinea and one’s no-Industrialized Societies To Create a New Diet We Call the Nime (Non-Industrialized Microbiome Restore) Diet.

What sets Nime apart from other diets is that it is dominated by vegetables (such as leafy greens) and vegetables (such as beans) and fruit. It Only Contains One Small Serving of Animal Protein Per Day (Salmon, Chicken or Pork), and It Avoids Highly Processed Foods.

Dairy, Beef and Wheat Were Excluded from the human trial gut they are not part of the Traditional Diet in Rural Papua New Guinea. The other characteristic distinction of the diet is a substantial dietary fiber content. In Our Trial, We Went for Around 45g of Fiber to Day, Which Exceeds the Recommendations in Dietary Guidelines.

One of My Ph.D. Students Got Creative in the Kitchen Designing Recipes That willd appeal to a person used to Typical Western Dishes. These meals allowed us to develop a meal plan that could be tested in a strictly controlled study in healthy canadian adults.

Remarkable Results

We Saw Remarkable Results Including Weight Loss (Although Participants Didn’t Change Their Regular Calorie intake), the Drop in Bad Cholesterol by 17%, Decreated Blood Sugar by 6%, and A 14%Reduction in A Marker for Infummation and Heart Disease Called C-reactive protein. These Benefits Were Directly Linked to Improvements in the Participants’ Gut Microbiome, Specifically Microbiome Features Damaged by Industrialization.

On a western diet low in dietary fiber, the gut microbiomers degrades the mucus layer in the gut, Which leads to infamination. The Nime Diet Prevent this process, Which was linked to a reduction in infmmation.

The Diet Also Increeded Beneficial Bacterial Metabolites (Byproducts) In the Gut, Such As Short-Chain Fatty accidents, and in the Blood, SUCH AS Indole-3-Propionic Accident-Metabolitis That has Beenwn to Protect Against Type 2 Diabetes and Nerve Damage.

Research Also Shows That Low Dietary Fiber Leads To Gut Microbes Rapping Up Protein Fermentation, Which Generates Harmful Byproducts That May Contribute to Colon Cancer.

In fact, there is a worrying trend of INCREASED COLON CANCER IN YOUNER PEOPLEWhich May Be Caused by Recent Trends Towards High-Protein Diets or Supplements. The Nime Diet Increeded Carbohydrate Fermentation at the Experinity of Protein Fermentation, and It Reduced Bacterial Molecules in the Participants’ Blood That Are Linked To Cancer.

The Findings from our Research Show that Dietary Intervention Targeted Towards Restoring The Gut Microbiome Can Improve Health and Reduce Disease Risk. The Nime Diet Offers A Practical Roadmap To Achieve this, by Providing Recipes That Were Used in Our Study. It Allows Anyone Interested in Healthy Eating to Improve Their Diet to Feed Their Human Cells and Their Microbiome.
