[00:00:06.040]We do know that obesity, immunosuppression,
[00:00:09.150]all of those things are risk factors
[00:00:10.985]so healthy immune system, healthy eating,
[00:00:13.964]healthy diet will probably turn out
[00:00:17.070]to be very important protective measures
[00:00:20.900]In general, I think the concept
[00:00:23.509]of having a healthy microbiome,
[00:00:25.960]having a strong resilient microbiome is probably your first
[00:00:29.952]and best line of defense
[00:00:31.700]against any sort of infectious agent.
[00:00:33.958](upbeat music)
[00:00:36.690]We consume those products
[00:00:37.870]and those microbes that have a chance to reach the gut.
[00:00:41.220]Now they're not gonna take a permanent residence,
[00:00:43.494]but they can live there for a short period of time
[00:00:45.880]and in doing so they can out-compete pathogens,
[00:00:50.016]displace unwanted organisms, again, produce vitamins,
[00:00:53.880]other bioactive molecules directly in the gut.
[00:00:57.823](upbeat music)
[00:01:01.540]The fiber deficit that has happened
[00:01:03.630]in a lot of westernized diets,
[00:01:05.750]we believe has had a major impact on the gut microbiome
[00:01:09.040]and also on our health,
[00:01:10.190]so that's clearly one general thing that
[00:01:13.020]that most individuals can do is to increase the amount
[00:01:15.700]of fiber intake.
[00:01:16.970]And the reason for that is
[00:01:18.010]that fiber actually feeds the organisms
[00:01:20.526]in the gastrointestinal tract.
