A researcher explains how gut bacteria from food communicate with your immune system and brain. In lab animals, adding Lactobacillus rutili to drinking water doubled wound healing speed, showing diet directly affects tissue repair and brain function.
How much of what we eat impacts our brain? More than we think. You eat something, it goes into your mouth, it tumbles down through, whatever our human body, our human cells don't absorb, goes on to feed our gut bacteria or poison our gut bacteria in the case maybe. So, you know, you put something good in your system, it's going to do something good. Put something bad in your system, it's going to like mess up the bacteria. And then our bacteria then begins to talk to our immune system, our brain. It helps to work on our healing mechanisms as well. You know, I study angiogenesis, how our blood vessels grow, you know, that circulation. I've done research. There's one bacteria called Lactobacillus ruteri. And we found that if you have a wound in the lab and you feed these animals with a wound, this probiotic in their drinking water, you actually double the rate of wound healing from the inside out. Really? Yeah. It's like Wolverine.
