Several months ago – a seemingly healthy calorie restrictor, who was full of life and energy, died of a heart attack. Her medical history indicated that she had an appendectomy a few years earlier, followed by severe gut dysbiosis (an imbalance in the intestinal bacteria that precipitates changes in the normal activities of the gastrointestinal tract, often resulting in health problems), which may have been exacerbated by antibiotics.
Normally, she dealt with her problem by avoiding lots of specific foods, however, this strategy only masked a serious malady that may include translocation of bacteria from the intestine to the arteries and heart. You can find out more about that in this blog, Poor Gut Health will kill you.
Usually, following a CR Way lifestyle produces extraordinary cardiovascular health. But this can be undermined by pathogenic bacteria – which, over time, can cause build-up of plaque in the blood vessels, leading to disaster.
Classic symptoms of leaky gut include “allergic” reactions after eating, such as red and itchy eyes, runny nose, respiratory congestion, coughing, and sneezing, as well as constipation or diarrhea.
Some LivingTheCRWay members suffer from some of these symptoms. So we could not stand idly by and let that continue. The subject of tonight’s teleconference will be what you can do right now to improve gut health, with a focus on protection against intestinal permeability.
