Notes from 'Super Gut' by William Davis 2:15:00
Feed the Akkermansia muciniphilla Species of Bacteria:
- Akkermansia muciniphilla is the amazing gate-keeper of our intestinal Mucosa
- Not too much, not too little. 5% of total gut bacteria is good. 10% is bad.
- Benefits: Produces gut mucous
- Eat the following daily to encourage the growth of Akkermansia muciniphilla
- olive oil: Omegs 3s and Oleic Acid
-garlic and onions
-flavenoid-rich and polyphenol-rich veggies and fruit
Eugenol in Clove Oil stimulates intestinal mucous production:
- stimulates the proliferation of Clostridia bacteria that in turn stimulates mucous production
- clove oil is a mild anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, but this is OK. its benefits outweigh this.
- Eugenol is also found in smaller amounts in Cinnamon Oil
