Ignorant ~~device~~ advice that at least helped me and is logical: increase maritine omega-3 fatty acid intake. Increase soft vegetable intake. Reduce carbohydrate intake (bread, wheat, sugar)

The goal: reduce inflammatory load on digestive system, so it can regenerate enough to build healthy slime film.

I only learned recently that the food should not have direct contact to skin in the digestive system, but lay on slime that is produced and maintained by the mucus skin itself.

In the mucus live bacteria. The mucus serves as buffer for bacteria to survive between meals. The bacteria can eat away the mucus if not enough healthy food comes in. Food and lifestyle are deciding factors for gut health = mucus health = healthy bacteria.

It’s basically [mucus adding food (and behavior)] vs [mucus subtracting food (and behavior)].

The natural movement of the body is essential for healthy digestion. Don’t eat too late.

Addition: I think this is how it works: Healthy bacteria take up the niche in the gut, they themselves produce short-chain fatty acids! Which get absorbed by the body.

Healthy food -> healthy bacteria -> regeneration of mucus skin -> healthy mucus -> healthy bacteria -> etc.

If the mucus film is destroyed or weak the body increases inflammation to fight invaders. The mucus is the deciding barrier between food and skin. If the mucus is compromised there is no „Lebensraum“ niche of living for healthy bacteria. All this is not a 0/1 state thing.

EAT. YOUR. VEGETABLEEEEEEEEEEEEES. (I like mache, arugula, Brokkoli)

The broader and diverse the different cultures are the more stable and protecting the gut and the whole body is.

More health opens opportunities for more health. Less health increases risk for other health risks because the body is less capable of adapting.
