Happy National Banana Day!

Autoimmune diseases can happen to anyone, but these specific factors increase the risk:

• Genetics – some autoimmune diseases can be inherited through genes.
• Environment – certain chemicals and exposure to sunlight can cause autoimmune diseases.
• S*x – women are more at risk of developing an autoimmune disease than men due to hormonal factors.
• Diet – processed food, refined carbohydrates, nightshades, dairy products and other foods can lead to systemic inflammation which increases the risk of developing an autoimmune disease.

In his newest book, When Food Bites Back, Regenera Medical founder, Elroy Vojdani, MD, IFMCP, discusses how we can take control of autoimmune diseases and the connection they have to the foods we eat.

Feel happier by eating fermented food!

Dopamine is a vital neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates mood, joy, productivity, energy, sleep and concentration. A large amount of dopamine is produced in the gut by healthy bacteria. The healthier bacteria you have in your gut, the more dopamine you can produce.

Fermented foods contain probiotics – which helps keep the gut microbiome in balance and dopamine-producing gut bacteria happy!

Try enjoying fermented food – like kimchi, kombucha and sauerkraut – 3-4 times a week to reap the benefits.
