This news is about how in daycare centers when children are allowed to play in soil then their Gut bacteria & immunity improves. When our son was born and raised in the US, what we did was in the backyard for the child to play we made a sand play area in order to get exposed to the soil and get high immunity.
This was in the years 2001 & 2002 when we visited India, we made sure that he ate in ordinary restaurants even second-class and third-class restaurants and travelled in trains and public transport so that he would be exposed to all the germs which we call immune tolerance so he would not develop later allergies and other health issues and his Gut Bacteria would be enriched with the diverse microorganisms.
This is very important to know the two things we did. On one side to the great surprise of our friends who are against what we were doing that we were exposing him not to a very healthy or hygienic environment but the most unhygienic environment, not giving him bottled water or distilled water. Made him drink all the ordinary water, even the boiled water which was extreme. On the other side, we gave him good organic food at home.
On one extreme we were not giving the child distilled water or boiled water, but we gave him all the restaurant water whatever it was, and friends were thinking we were nuts putting the child in danger, but on the other side at home, we were giving him organic foods, high polyphenol-rich food. It was expensive, but we bought only that and gave him. Now, this is very important to know that we should be giving both to a child for high immunity.
In slum areas, children are exposed to all these unhygienic things, but they don’t have good high Polyphenol rich food, so they are prone to more dysentery or Cholera or such type of diseases.
In the so-called high society, children are given good nutritious food that may not be rich in high Polyphenols, but they are not exposing the children to this kind of environment. So, what happens is the children don’t develop good immunity.
The bottom line is children should be exposed to all the natural environment so that they are developing resistant and good immunity. But at the same time, they should be given high Polyphenol, and high Antioxidant food so that the food that they eat will help them to have a healthy microbiome.
Let the Children get exposed to germs on one hand and give them Polyphenol-rich food on the other hand. Let the Young Buds enjoy their Childhood with good immunity.
We at AMMAGENOMICS offer PCR-based tests to test the Gut Microbiome for Good Bacteria. We test for Polyphenol, Antioxidant and MDA in Blood and in Food and give results in a quick turnaround time. This helps us to make the right choice in buying healthy and organic food.
