[What is Kava?]

Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and ‘awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.

Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.

[Kava is Safe to Use]

The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.

In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava’s margin of safety far surpasses that of it’s pharmaceutical equivalent.

[Function]

Kava’s can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava’s anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.

If we take a look at each ingredient Turmeric had been extremely well studied and research. Its main claim to fame is its anti inflammatory qualities but studies have shown its useful for treating certain Cancer, Liver damage, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
You can see all its amazing health benefits in this video I made………………………
Turmeric is cheap, readily available and can be concealed in most drinks and meals.
What about coconut milk?
Coconut milk is widely used in Thailand, Malaysian, Indian or Polynesian cuisine.  Coconut milk is very rich in iron , potassium and phosphorus . It contains manganese, copper, selenium and zinc. Unlike coconut water , milk is rich in fat, mostly saturated fatty acids, which gives smoothness and softness to it incorporates dishes and shakes.
The calcium in the milk helps protects the bones and teeth. It boosts re immune system protecting us against colds and flu, like turmeric it has anti-inflammatory benefits and can calm our nervous system.
The virtues of ginger
Ginger is a plant whose roots are commonly and long used in Asian food as a spice. Now widely used in Europe, ginger is also known for its many virtues. It is reputed aphrodisiac, but not only. It has many medicinal properties. Among other benefits, ginger is antibacterial, it helps to warm the body, it stimulates the immune system, it is hypoallergenic and antipyretic (it fights against fever). Especially, ginger is an anti-nausea limiting vomiting, especially those related to transport and in pregnant women. On the other hand, it allows digestion faster by promoting secretion bile. In Western countries, ginger is also used to reduce the inflammatory symptoms of rheumatism.
It is also and above all an excellent toning and strengthening the body. Moreover, its aphrodisiac virtues come from its ability to tone the whole body.
What is more, the plant causes a feeling of satisfaction in the person who consumes it regularly. Which is what gives it its fat-burning properties?
How to make this turmeric milk recipe?
You are going to need
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 small sliced piece of ginger
2 cups of coconut milk but you can use other milk
Some people don’t like the taste of turmeric so you can hide the taste with a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
You can also sweeten it with honey.
To make the drink mix or whisk the ingredients in pan but leave out the honey. Cook slowly on medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and then let it sit for a while. You can now remove the slice of ginger and add a tablespoon of honey if you wish.

You should drink the golden milk either on an empty stomach in the morning, or before going to sleep, and you will effectively detox your body, prevent inflammation and joint pain, accelerate healing, and promote overall health!
Remember turmeric milk is also great for the skin. Both milk and turmeric are anti-oxidants. Turmeric milk helps fights free radicals that damage skin and make it lose its glow and elasticity.

Episode #81: Drs  Justin and Erica Sonnenburg are two top microbial scientists at Stanford University and author of The Good Gut. In this interview these two pioneers share diet tips from their work at Stanford that can help you increase the diversity of the trillions of bacterial organisms in your gut, boost your metabolism and reduce inflammation.

————————————–Key Takeaways———————————

2:29 The Power of Microbes: Over the past decade there has been an awakening about the gut, microbiome and genetics. Microbes connect in major ways to human biology with digestion, metabolism, systemic immune function and central nervous system. There is no part of our body that is not touched, directly or indirectly, by these microbes in some way.

4:32 Microbial Digestion: Gut microbes rely upon complex carbohydrates (dietary fiber) to complete their functions in the gut. They digest our resistant complex polysaccharides that come from plant material; fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. At the same time, they release compounds into our gut that are soaked into our bloodstream that do things like help maintain our immune system balance and help us decide whether we are storing calories or burning them.

5:56 Feed Your Microbes: High fiber foods feed your microbes. The Sonnenburgs make sure that their family consumes high fiber foods at every meal.

7:30 Microbial Diversity – The Jelly Bean Analogy: Think of each species of gut bacteria as a color of jelly bean. The Western diet will be a simple mix of a few colors. Modern day hunter gatherers or those who live similarly to those at the beginning of agriculture, have many more colors of jelly beans. They have species of gut bacteria that are not seen in the Western world. In the environment, if an ecosystem loses its diversity, it’s a bad thing. Potentially, that is the case with our microbial ecosystem?

9:25 A Skewed Perspective of Microbes: Research has primarily focused on Westerners, but now research is looking into populations around the globe. The NIH Human Microbiome Project spent years working to determine what a healthy microbiota is and working to determine how the microbiome changes in different disease states.

10:20 Microbiota, a Key Player in Disease: Just because someone is healthy, doesn’t mean they have a healthy microbiota. Evidence is building that shows that most Americans have unhealthy gut microbiota, which predisposes us to many Western diseases. Metabolic syndrome, heart disaease, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and the like, are all become more prevalent. It is possible that there are individual causes for these diseases, but more likely, that there are only a few causes and that gut microbiota is central of them.

11:54 Traditional Societies: Humans have spent 95% of our time on the earth as hunter gatherers. By looking at hunter gatherer societies today, we can get a better understanding of what our gut microbiota is supposed to be.

13:39 The High MAC Diet: Microbiota Accessible Carbohydrates are dietary fiber that we consume to feed our microbiota. Tubers eaten by hunter gatherers have not been modified by agriculture, making it texturally and nutritionally different from what we eat. Since we cannot recreate the diet of hunter gatherers, we can eat lots of different foods, including tubers, along with berries and leafy greens and increase fiber to diversify and sustain our microbiota.

15:56 Polyphenols: When researching the impact of plant fiber, it is challenging for researchers to parse out the other benefits of the consumption of plants. In general, Westerners should eat more plants that contain complex dietary fibers, not only to feed their microbiota, but to garner the other benefits.

18:01 Fiber Consumption Comparison: Hunter gatherers consume about 150 – 200 grams per day of dietary fiber. In the U.S., we struggle to eat 15 grams per day. If you starve the microbes in the gut, they begin to consume the mucus lining of your digestive tract.

19:32 Short Chain Fatty Acids Created By Our Microbiota: Acetate, propionate, and butyrate are the major ones. In mice, propionate has been shown to be a regulator of metabolism. Butyrate and propionate have shown in mice to be a regulator of inflammation. They may also play a role in satiety. One day we will have enough information to match our foods to specific microbes in our gut. Increase dietary fiber, to increase short chain fatty acids.
