Solid fertility is influenced greatly by solid gut health. The practice of fermentation is an ancestral practice that was key to the extraordinary health of indigenous cultures. It is a practice that has been coming back in recent years to modern society and it is the key to your fertility as well.
Traditional fermentation of vegetables is done with salt brine to create lacto fermentation which cultivates the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, particularly the Lactobacillus strain of bacteria.
You have 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells! Our skin and every tissue of the body is crawling with bacteria all the time. Beneficial bacteria is necessary for conception, a healthy pregnancy, and bringing a healthy baby into the world. These bacteria make-up what is called our microbiome.
Women even have a vaginal microbiome, or a particular set of vaginal bacteria vital for solid reproductive health. Generally, the normal microbiome of the vagina in non-pregnant healthy women predominantly includes a variety of Lactobacillus species, which promote a healthy, supportive environment for the embryo in the pre- and peri-conceptual period. While there are many different species of Lactobacillus bacteria present in the vaginal tract, there are a few that dominate like Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus iners, and Lactobacillus jenseii, respectively. Non-Lactobacillus dominated bacteria include Gardnerella, Pretovella, Corynebacterium, Atopobium, Megasphaera, Sneathia, and Gardnerella vaginalis. To see the research click here.
Consumption of fermented foods helps encourage beneficial strains of bacteria to flourish within our GI tract as well as in a woman’s vagina. Their presence strengthens our resistance to the occasional pathogens that cross our path, because like everything else bacteria come in a good and bad varieties.
Home fermentation involves the cultivation of these many strains of good bacteria and yeasts, also called probiotics. When consumed, these foods will encourage your gut lining to be home to these amazing little critters. Some strains have the ability to aggressively fight and reduce levels of any pathogenic strains like candida that in high amounts are unwelcome guests. Candida can proliferate with the use of the birth control pills. Bad bacteria or pathogens typically gain ground in our digestive tract when antibiotics or other meds like the birth control pill are taken. A nutrient-poor diet high in processed foods, high in refined flour and sugar, cause imbalances too. Without the beneficial guys to fight back, you are at the mercy of any pathogen that comes your way. Pathogens affect fertility and your ability to conceive and hold a pregnancy.
Learning to cultivate the bacteria that are beneficial to your health by regularly eating fermented foods that encourage their growth, is absolutely essential to keeping disease and infections at bay. Reducing those stressors boosts your fertility tremendously! So come on, what are waiting for, make this Organic Cauliflower Carrot Ferment and boost your fertility journey.
