be there but wouldn't have a good chance of surviving so iga is like the master regulating who stays who goes and who gets their life spared in the way of bacteria very important but what does that have to do with short-chain fatty acids well short-chain fatty acids help in two very important ways one they provide a fuel for the epithelial cells and they provide a fuel to produce the antibodies so the short chain fatty acids become a fuel source yes so if we're not eating a lot of fiber we're not getting soluble fiber we're not getting a lot of that fuel source we're not getting a lot of those short chain fatty acids that can't really fuel this whole antibody process case in point then your bacterial diversity decreases right and there's studies that demonstrate that people that have lower levels of iga have less microbiome diversity this is very very important the second piece is something more complicated which we'll touch on in a little bit called histone diacitylase inhibition long story long basically what that does is it makes it so that genes can get activated get expressed that therefore allow the production of more iga more iga equals more protective mechanism over bacteria let's get into chia and flax because enough about the saint bernard and the bernese mountain dog you don't want to hear about this nonsense anyway so when you look at chia you say well chia has like NUMBER_TOKEN grams more fiber per NUMBER_TOKEN gram serving than flex so chia must just be better right well not necessarily you see chia only has NUMBER_TOKEN grams of soluble fiber per NUMBER_TOKEN grams flax has NUMBER_TOKEN grams of soluble fiber per NUMBER_TOKEN grams now we create short chain fatty acids by our microbiome of course eating soluble fiber so one of the questions that people do ask is should i take probiotics should i help increase my you know microbial diversity that way look at the evidence is kind of all over the place but i will tell you what i personally use i do use a probiotic i use something called a symbiotic and i put a link for the one that i use down below it's a symbiotic called seed now they are a sponsor on this channel full disclaimer they are awesome they've been a sponsor for a while but a symbiotic has prebiotics and probiotics so it has a little bit of the fibers that are going to help the bacteria potentially grow okay so they're very unique with a capsule inside of a capsule so probiotics are very well researched right there's a lot of evidence there but the thing i like about seed which by the way there's a NUMBER_TOKEN discount link in the description below thing i like about seed is that they do a lot of their own research and they're really pushing a lot of the microbiome research they're putting their money where their mouth is so anyway that link is down below if you use that code that's in the description you will save NUMBER_TOKEN off of some seed probiotics so a big thank you to seed for being a sponsor on this video and again make sure you check them out okay we already know from what i've talked about that soluble fiber carries a heck of a lot of benefits but there's something even more with flax and give
START_SPONSOR_TOKEN should i help increase my you know microbial diversity that way look at the evidence is kind of all over the place but i will tell you what i personally use i do use a probiotic i use something called a symbiotic and i put a link for the one that i use down below it's a symbiotic called seed now they are a sponsor on this channel full disclaimer they are awesome they've been a sponsor for a while but a symbiotic has prebiotics and probiotics so it has a little bit of the fibers that are going to help the bacteria potentially grow okay so they're very unique with a capsule inside of a capsule so probiotics are very well researched right there's a lot of evidence there but the thing i like about seed which by the way there's a NUMBER_TOKEN discount link in the description below thing i like about seed is that they do a lot of their own research and they're really pushing a lot of the microbiome research they're putting their money where their mouth is so anyway that link is down below if you use that code that's in the description you will save NUMBER_TOKEN off of some seed probiotics so a big thank you to seed for being a sponsor on this video and again make sure you check them out okay END_SPONSOR_TOKEN
