11 Foods that kill your gut (ebook):

This was written the pandemic. (By Dr. Joseph Arena) thanks Emily This is the hand of an 8-year-old boy who placed his hand on a petri dish af...ter coming inside from playing. Now I am sure at first glance you thought to yourself how disgusting this is and how this MUST be a bad thing, however, it is actually the contrary First I want to point out that we are made up of more foreign matter than we are our own cellular DNA. Let me explain, there are more microbes in and on your body that quantitatively make up more cells than the ones that are YOU The microbiota is said to be about 1.3 for every 1 cell that is our own. These microbes are responsible for keeping us healthy, digesting our food, creating nutrients, assimilating our vitamins/minerals, the processing of our information/neurotransmitters, our immunity and nearly every process and mechanism in the entire body. They exist in your mouth, on your skin and most importantly in your gut. (Terrain) With the continuous rise of industrialized farming, environmental toxins, and even the overuse of hand sanitizers, we are not only depleting the microbes in our soil but the ones on our bodies, too. This is like taking down our force field and allowing the pathogenic bacteria, viruses, mold, and other pathogens to infiltrate. . This post is to continue to create awareness that bacteria/fungus/viruses are not truly bad, and we must support a healthy microbiome inside/out. THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS and we must respect life even down to its smallest counterparts The avg. human should have about 3.5lbs of gut flora in the intestines, however, on the standard American diet of overly processed/refined foods and the overconsumption of pesticides/insecticides, as well as the other near 80K man-made chemicals we interact with daily, we would be lucky to have a couple ozs Do your best to avoid alcohol-based hand sanitizers as they kill our first line of defense, the same for your mouth, avoid using alcohol-based mouthwashes and synthetic chemicals in/on your bodies; you want to support our little friends, not kill them off. PARENTS this is especially important for your developing children and THEIR microbiome! @tasturm1 @dr.josepharena

We are temporarily closed (since summer 2019), however, due to the COVID-19 crisis, we are considering REOPENING soon in order to HELP BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS with our probiotic foods & drinks. STAY TUNED! :D www.kristenscultures.com

Show this to you kids and explain that this is why washing our hands is SO important! (Soap repels germs.) Kristen & David

Don't panic! Here's some advice now that kids are home in SK:

POLL: If I reopen in order to sell a few items to BOOST IMMUNE SYSTEMS (likely sauerkraut, kombucha vinegar and probiotic mustard), would you buy from me? Pick-up would be available in a mini-fridge in SE Regina (so no contact with others!), and payments via e-transfer (so no touching money!)

You know what you *should* be buying, instead of toilet paper? PROBIOTICS!!! Get that immune system healthy and strong again BEFORE the virus infects Regina, so that just in case, your body can EASILY fight it off.

Hi friends! Kristen's Cultures will be closed for the next while, so that I can focus on my family and my other business (Joy Filled Facepainting & Balloon Twisting - Regina SK). As you can imagine, it's an understatement to say that running 2 businesses with 4 young kids is a lot to take on. ... I'll keep you posted as to our plans for Kristen's Cultures when I figure that out. Have a fabulous Movember!

Moms: great news! I've worked it out with the admin of the Kids Ninja group, Regina Ringing Rugrats, to leave the group "private" instead of "secret" until tomorrow afternoon ONLY, so that y'all can join without being my fb friend. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2689590557994376/

I decided to try this smoothie subscription service during the lockdown because: 1) I got a crazy good coupon, and 2) I've been having trouble keeping up with good nutrition while having 4 kids home 24/7 and trying to work too!... If you want to try it at 55% off, use THIS link: https://revivesuperfoods.com/ref/87143/ Or CODE "HIL871430" This was my first one: Liquid Gold. Tasty, clean ingredients, and surprisingly filling - I feel like I ate a large meal! I look forward to try the rest. I got one of almost every flavour. Bonus: It came packed with dry ice too which was so fun - we did a bunch of experiments with it the afternoon it arrived. . . . #yqr #yqrhealth #yqrsmallbusiness #yqrsupportlocal #yqrentrepeneur #guthealth #yqrfood #yqrsmallbusinesses
