Food is the basic resource for maintaining life. Source of food is vital to our understanding and maintaining the core strength of energy production within ourselves. Source of soil out of which food is born is also a basic tenet to maintaining good health and our Innate Immune system.
Soil is a Foundation for Gut Health
The soil contributes to the human gut microbiome – it is essential in the evolution of the human gut microbiome and it is a major inoculant and provider of beneficial gut microorganisms. There are functional similarities between the soil rhizosphere and human intestine. In recent decades however contact with soil has largely been reduced, which together with a modern lifestyle and nutrition has led to the depletion of the gut microbiome with adverse effects to human health and failing innate immunity.
Sustainable farming practices and regenerative agriculture is the epitome in maintaining gut microbial health which if lost can create a cascade of consequential health problems.
Clean water, pH of consumed liquids, soil health, air quality, freedom from industrial and environmental pollutants are basic requirements in creating a prosperous food chain and sustenance of regenerative farming practices for optimizing innate immunity.
