00:00 - Prebiotics for Gut Health
12:57 - Colorful Whole Plant Foods Are Important
WEBVTT
00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:08.875
On our last episode, number 269, we talked about what you need to do to maintain optimal health if your doctor prescribes an antibiotic.
00:00:08.875 --> 00:00:10.525
Such an important episode.
00:00:10.525 --> 00:00:14.679
If you haven't listened to it, go back and listen to that now and then come back to this one.
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:24.256
But because today we're talking about the three prebiotics that feed your good gut bacteria and how you can easily get more of them into your life.
00:00:24.477 --> 00:00:25.019
Let's do it.
00:00:25.922 --> 00:00:28.951
Hey sister, welcome to the power on plants podcast.
00:00:28.951 --> 00:00:34.228
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:34.228 --> 00:00:39.633
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:39.633 --> 00:00:45.912
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:45.912 --> 00:00:47.122
Hi, we're chair.
00:00:47.122 --> 00:00:53.603
Then they need to resell Christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great Tasting food.
00:00:53.603 --> 00:01:05.599
We too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:13.046
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon Sustainable plant based living.
00:01:13.046 --> 00:01:16.659
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:18.385
You just need the way.
00:01:18.385 --> 00:01:21.993
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.
00:01:21.993 --> 00:01:30.224
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:01:30.224 --> 00:01:35.493
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:35.493 --> 00:01:37.209
Hey friends, welcome back.
00:01:37.209 --> 00:01:38.799
We're so happy to have you with us today.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.140
Now, we have been talking a lot about gut health recently.
00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:42.983
Why is that?
00:01:42.983 --> 00:01:46.536
Because your gut health is tied to your overall health.
00:01:46.536 --> 00:01:47.719
We know this.
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:58.453
You've seen it a lot out there these days when it comes to your health and nutrition, and so you want to know these little life hacks and these little strategies and things you can do to help you be healthy.
00:01:58.453 --> 00:02:02.432
If you're wise, you definitely want to know how to steward your body Well, right.
00:02:02.432 --> 00:02:09.659
God's given us this body that we live in to be able to walk out our mission on this earth.
00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:11.564
How can we do that if we don't feel good?
00:02:11.564 --> 00:02:14.973
And our gut health is a big key to this?
00:02:14.973 --> 00:02:25.122
If you didn't hear the episode right before this one, episode 269 it's really important because at some point in your life, you may go to the doctor and they may want to put you on an Antibiotic.
00:02:25.122 --> 00:02:30.510
Well, what do you do to keep yourself Optimally healthy during that time when you're taking an antibiotic?
00:02:30.510 --> 00:02:47.974
That's what we talked about on the last episode, and today we're expanding on something that we started in episode 267, where we told you about prebiotics, what their importance is for your health, and also started talking about one of the first ones that we're going to mention again today, fiber.
00:02:47.974 --> 00:02:57.608
So if you want to dive deeper into fiber as a prebiotic that you need into your life, you want to listen right now to episode 267.
00:02:57.608 --> 00:02:59.924
So what exactly are Prebiotics?
00:02:59.924 --> 00:03:00.445
Let's sum it up.
00:03:00.445 --> 00:03:06.387
We went into it quite a bit in that episode, so we're not going to talk about it a lot, but what are prebiotics in a nutshell?
00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:10.879
in a nutshell a prebiotic is something that we don't digest.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.932
We don't have enzymes to digest them and we do not absorb them exactly as they are.
00:03:16.932 --> 00:03:22.484
These are also substances that the microbiome Uses as food.
00:03:22.524 --> 00:03:29.586
They can ferment it, they can use it as fuel to run and when Jared says microbiome, he means the gut bacteria that you have.
00:03:29.586 --> 00:03:40.824
So your good gut bacteria, the ones that we want to flourish, the ones that help us to Remain healthy, they require food, and the food that they eat is Prebiotics.
00:03:40.824 --> 00:03:42.008
That's what they eat.
00:03:42.008 --> 00:03:44.213
So there are three types of prebiotics.
00:03:44.213 --> 00:03:45.799
The first is fiber.
00:03:46.822 --> 00:03:49.889
Yes, we've talked about that so many times, but it's very important.
00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:51.645
Now, what exactly is fiber?
00:03:51.645 --> 00:03:54.407
Because we use that word a lot, but do we fully understand what it is?
00:03:54.407 --> 00:03:55.491
It's metamucil, right?
00:03:55.491 --> 00:04:04.866
Well, metamucil would be a subclass of fiber, but it's simply just something from plants that we do not digest, so we do not have enzymes to break them down.
00:04:04.866 --> 00:04:05.868
They pass through us.
00:04:05.868 --> 00:04:23.490
Now they have multiple benefits One, obviously, feeding our good gut bacteria, and two would be a regular bowel movement, which, yeah, I'm not going to diminish the importance of that, but they do have other benefits, like grabbing on to some of the waste products, like cholesterol, excess estrogen and women.
00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:31.319
The fiber binds to these things and helps us to eliminate them, so that way, there's this constant flow, so we don't get a buildup of too much of anything.
00:04:31.581 --> 00:04:40.728
Don't you find it interesting that when God gives us something that's beneficial, it's not just beneficial in one area, it's so many others, and Jer's just listed a couple of the ways that fiber helps us?
00:04:40.728 --> 00:04:45.430
I'm sure there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of ways that we don't even know.
00:04:45.430 --> 00:04:59.702
We don't even know, but what we don't want to do is go out and start buying metamucil and wasting our money and having to force ourselves to drink something that we don't like because it's disgusting and probably has some other things in it that may not be good for us, like natural flavors and colors.
00:04:59.702 --> 00:05:05.572
When you can get it in the whole plant food, god put it there for you in the foods.
00:05:05.572 --> 00:05:09.589
So learn how to eat the good stuff and the way that you enjoy.
00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:13.649
So our second prebiotic are resistant starches.
00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:18.610
These are starches that resist digestion in the small intestines.
00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:23.891
Now, classic examples of that we've kind of touched on this here or there potatoes.
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.507
Now you're speaking my love language.
00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:30.504
We love potatoes, when you cook potatoes, when you let them cool down.
00:05:30.504 --> 00:05:32.067
Anita doesn't like this one.
00:05:32.067 --> 00:05:34.773
One of our sons and myself Okay, hold on.
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.831
I got to interject here because I'm just thinking it in my mind Potatoes are my love language.
00:05:39.831 --> 00:05:40.812
I just shared that right.
00:05:40.812 --> 00:05:42.807
Well, I have several plant foods that are my love language.
00:05:42.807 --> 00:05:45.326
Potatoes are one of my love languages, for sure.
00:05:45.326 --> 00:05:50.451
If potato is one of your love languages, I want you to get inside Pie right now.
00:05:50.451 --> 00:05:53.149

00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:01.593
So just snap a quick pic.
00:06:01.593 --> 00:06:05.720
It doesn't have to be formed in a pretty manner and laid out with flowers.
00:06:06.168 --> 00:06:07.502
No, this is real life A little spark please.
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:08.983
This is real life.
00:06:08.983 --> 00:06:10.204
You don't need that.
00:06:10.204 --> 00:06:12.346
Just take a quick picture and show me.
00:06:12.346 --> 00:06:14.607
I want to see who are my potato pals.
00:06:14.607 --> 00:06:17.906

If it is, come in there, I want to meet you today.
00:06:20.031 --> 00:06:22.285
I like that you are my potato pal.

So hashtag potato pal.
00:06:24.264 --> 00:06:25.225
Oh, hashtag it.
00:06:25.225 --> 00:06:26.689

00:06:31.490 --> 00:06:34.108
That's poweronplantscom forward slash PIE.
00:06:34.108 --> 00:06:39.045
It might be an old picture of one you took, or if you say I don't have it in my role yet, but I'm totally a potato pal.
00:06:39.045 --> 00:06:44.791
Anita, make a potato for one of your next meals and whatever you love to put on it, like for me right now.
00:06:44.791 --> 00:06:47.740
Okay, there's so many different ways I love to eat my potato, y'all.
00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:49.427
We've got to get our resistant starches.
00:06:49.427 --> 00:06:51.024
It's so, so important.
00:06:51.024 --> 00:07:05.896
Right now I'm loving a sweet potato with black beans, a little bit of sauerkraut which we'll talk about that more in the future Salsa, even a little hot sauce I do love some hot sauce, seriously and a little cilantro.
00:07:05.896 --> 00:07:11.579
If you like cilantro, you know you either love it or you hate it, and I do sometimes like to put a little bit of cashew cream.
00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:16.995
I don't have to do that when I'm using the salsa, but sometimes I'll put just a little bit of that if I have some in my fridge.
00:07:16.995 --> 00:07:23.875
So if you're a potato pal, come to powerandplantscom forward slash P-I-E the next time you cook a potato and be intentional about it.
00:07:23.875 --> 00:07:28.077
Do it within the next couple of days, get in there and post and post hashtag potato pal.
00:07:28.077 --> 00:07:31.896
I don't care when you're listening to this, if this is a year or two after I posted it.
00:07:31.896 --> 00:07:32.879
Do the same.
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:39.855
Come into the community, post hashtag potato pal, because I check it and I see these things and I wanna know are you my bud?
00:07:39.855 --> 00:07:40.793
Are you my pal?
00:07:41.771 --> 00:07:45.396
Or maybe they're your spud, not your bud.
00:07:47.591 --> 00:07:48.495
Oh, my goodness.
00:07:48.930 --> 00:07:54.536
We have taken a total departure from our original topic and so what's new?
00:07:54.877 --> 00:07:56.374
right, we've left you in this.
00:07:56.374 --> 00:07:58.016
You've got to have the practical steps.
00:07:58.016 --> 00:08:09.036
We don't wanna be all sciencey, but we don't wanna be non-science, so you really need to understand these things that we're diving more into, like what are the three main prebiotics and how do I get those that we're talking about today?
00:08:09.036 --> 00:08:20.497
But when there's a departure necessary and we start talking about resistant starches and we start talking about potatoes, you know I've gotta throw in an easy way to get that in a way that we can connect over it.
00:08:20.497 --> 00:08:24.276
That's where all the fun happens and it just makes it practical, right?
00:08:24.276 --> 00:08:26.713
We've gotta know how to practically get these resistant starches.
00:08:26.713 --> 00:08:28.500
Oh, definitely, potatoes are a great way.
00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:32.179
Sweet potatoes, purple potatoes oh my word.
00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:34.557
So now you've got all these different categories of the different ones.
00:08:34.557 --> 00:08:39.057
So you've got sweet potatoes, you've got purple potatoes, orange potatoes, you've got white sweet potatoes.
00:08:39.057 --> 00:08:40.897
If you haven't tried some of those, try them.
00:08:40.897 --> 00:08:42.416
And the purples are real important.
00:08:42.416 --> 00:08:43.754
We're gonna talk about why in a minute.
00:08:43.754 --> 00:08:48.777
Then you've got regular savory potatoes and you've got green bananas.
00:08:48.777 --> 00:08:53.636
Those are a good source of resistant starch and actually I prefer them to ripe.
00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:56.418
But before we go too far on to the other resistant starches.
00:08:56.418 --> 00:08:59.318
I didn't quite make the important point with the potatoes.
00:08:59.318 --> 00:09:01.657
That when you cook them and they're warm.
00:09:01.657 --> 00:09:04.418
They're not the resistant starch.
00:09:04.418 --> 00:09:15.636
It's whenever they're cooled, then the starches they take on the form or they become more resistant to digestion in our small intestines, so then it can make its way to the colon, where they then feed the bacteria.
00:09:15.850 --> 00:09:18.053
That's such a great tip so with resistant starches.
00:09:18.456 --> 00:09:25.136
they're starches which are really just chains of sugar molecules kind of stitched together, and so we can digest them.
00:09:25.136 --> 00:09:31.895
But, like the name suggests, they're resistant, so that food can actually make its way to the colon to feed our good gut bacteria.
00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:36.277
Right, because if it was broken down and gone there'd be no food for our good gut bacteria.
00:09:36.277 --> 00:09:37.200
Right, well on the flip side.
00:09:37.309 --> 00:09:42.975
It would be like eating something with just simple sugar, so like if you drank a cola that had nothing but just regular white sugar.
00:09:42.975 --> 00:09:46.895
Because it's just a simple sugar, we just absorb it right away.
00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:49.458
So that was such a great tip Jared just shared.
00:09:49.458 --> 00:09:54.317
You wanna let those potatoes cool before you eat them if you wanna get more resistant starches?
00:09:54.317 --> 00:09:56.557
Now, we don't want you to one off things here.
00:09:56.557 --> 00:10:04.859
We don't want you to think, oh well, I've got to just eat potatoes to get my resistant starch, or just eat this kind or that kind, or I need to do this to get more fiber or that.
00:10:04.859 --> 00:10:06.616
Just eat more whole plant foods.
00:10:06.616 --> 00:10:08.957
That's gonna be our tip the whole time here.
00:10:08.957 --> 00:10:23.514
We don't want you to get worried and bogged down like you do when you listen to all these ads and all this health information in there from all the quote gurus that have you worried about I need to take this and that and this, and that there aren't many supplements you need to take, and that's the truth.
00:10:23.514 --> 00:10:33.440
If you wanna save money and you wanna eat the cheapest way possible and you wanna get the most nutrients and the most bang for your back, start eating more whole plant foods, a variety.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:39.517
It's the most important thing you can do for gut health a variety of whole plant foods on your plate.
00:10:39.517 --> 00:10:43.033
So with resistance starches, green bananas don't just eat them right.
00:10:43.033 --> 00:10:44.820
Green bananas, yes, eat them green.
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:53.619
I like them more green and actually I've been making this ice cream recently with bananas that are more green, and when I do that I don't taste the banana so strong.
00:10:53.619 --> 00:10:57.153
So sometimes you eat ice cream and you don't want the banana flavor to come through so much.
00:10:57.153 --> 00:11:00.379
Eat them green, get them in your ice cream green.
00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.472
It works great.
00:11:01.472 --> 00:11:03.616
I'm talking about banana and ice cream, right?
00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:17.678
Yes, and the longer that the banana sit on your countertop they become more yellow than more brown and the sugars have longer to break down into a simple sugar form instead of being more in the resistance starch form.
00:11:17.929 --> 00:11:20.254
Makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect sense.
00:11:20.254 --> 00:11:24.773
You can do the same thing with cooked and cooled rice that you do with cooked and cooled potatoes.
00:11:24.812 --> 00:11:25.774
Yeah, I was just thinking about that.
00:11:25.815 --> 00:11:27.057
Yes, Same thing.
00:11:27.057 --> 00:11:28.279
It's good for you.
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:29.883
And then oats as well.
00:11:29.883 --> 00:11:34.538
If you cook it and then it sits for a little bit and it starts to get a little thicker, that's good.
00:11:34.538 --> 00:11:37.789
But let's say you're eating cooked oats instead of raw oats today, ain't?
00:11:37.789 --> 00:11:39.052
You don't mind eating them, cool.
00:11:39.052 --> 00:11:44.543
And you think, oh, that's great, I'll get more resistant starch, but you think I just don't like how thick they get.
00:11:44.543 --> 00:11:50.662
Just add more liquid when you're cooking it so that when it cools you'll still have it liquid enough, and then you won't think, oh, I can't eat this.
00:11:50.662 --> 00:11:52.422
You know it's like a solid brick.
00:11:52.422 --> 00:11:54.542
You might not want a solid brick of oatmeal.
00:11:54.542 --> 00:11:56.341
So that's one tip there.
00:11:56.341 --> 00:11:58.884
But these are just a few of the foods.
00:11:58.884 --> 00:12:02.275
So don't be worrying about every day I've got to get this thing or that thing or this thing.
00:12:02.275 --> 00:12:03.923
Just eat a wide variety.
00:12:03.923 --> 00:12:15.039
You're going to be getting your fiber, your resistant starches and, tip number three, the third prebiotic that you need to be getting are polyphenols.
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.644
Polyphenols are nutrients in plants, in plant-based foods.
00:12:18.644 --> 00:12:19.605
They're naturally there.
00:12:19.605 --> 00:12:21.501
They help your body manage inflammation.
00:12:21.501 --> 00:12:26.643
They protect against oxidative stress and a whole host of chronic diseases.
00:12:26.643 --> 00:12:27.980
So how do you get them?
00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:29.640
How do you spot them in plant food?
00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:31.822
Look for color.
00:12:31.822 --> 00:12:36.783
You know I'm always saying get a wide variety of foods, get a wide variety of color onto your plate.
00:12:36.783 --> 00:12:39.322
That's a great way to vary up what you're getting.
00:12:39.322 --> 00:12:43.020
If your whole plate is white, you don't have enough color on there.
00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:44.220
There's a problem with that.
00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:50.044
Get your greens, get your purples Purples are often missing, filled with polyphenols.
00:12:50.044 --> 00:13:00.361
So you've got your blueberries and your purple cabbages and your purple onions and all these blues and purples and the reds, like those strawberries.
00:13:00.361 --> 00:13:03.884
Where there is color, there will be polyphenols.
00:13:04.254 --> 00:13:05.379
But also to not just color.
00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:07.240
They help contribute to the flavor.
00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:07.741
Yes.
00:13:07.902 --> 00:13:10.120
To the odor and sometimes bitterness.
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.559
So bitterness in a berry or a fruit may not always be a bad thing.
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.922
That could actually be a sign of a very high polyphenol content.
00:13:16.922 --> 00:13:21.961
If you can stand it, not everybody can, so people are more sensitive to bitterness than others.
00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:28.163
Bitter is good for you, and when you chew into seeds a lot of times you get that bitterness, but we know that seeds are very healthy for you as well.
00:13:28.163 --> 00:13:30.542
Plus, you're getting more fiber with the seeds too.
00:13:31.154 --> 00:13:37.081
So now, with regard to prebiotics, as with everything that we talk about, diversity is best.
00:13:37.081 --> 00:13:37.876
It is king.
00:13:37.876 --> 00:13:39.261
Get a wide variety.
00:13:39.261 --> 00:13:49.943
There are a lot of supplements out there, and this is one of the reasons why we don't necessarily recommend getting supplements, even for stuff like prebiotics, cause you may have a supplement that has one, maybe two.
00:13:49.943 --> 00:14:00.442
What they have found is that if you try to take a specific prebiotic, so let's say one called inulin, it's found in things like soybeans sun chokes found in sun chokes.
00:14:00.442 --> 00:14:07.100
If you try to max out on a specific one, there really is no additional benefit after you get above a certain level.
00:14:07.514 --> 00:14:09.341
So let's say you're taking it every day.
00:14:09.341 --> 00:14:12.157
You're waking up and you're taking your inulin supplement every day.
00:14:12.157 --> 00:14:34.903
You would just be better off not spending your money on that, buying some beautiful, colorful whole plant feeds to get on your plate and into your body that you actually enjoy, that you drive some pleasure from and it's providing maximum benefit because you're getting all these different sources, all these different types of polyphenols and fibers and resistant starches.
00:14:35.695 --> 00:14:40.383
And the reason why I wanted to make this point is that at times we may have this lot of.
00:14:40.383 --> 00:14:42.542
If some is good, more must be better.
00:14:42.542 --> 00:14:51.764
I'm just gonna max out on this one and really it's not going to do anything for you and all the different bacteria in our gut and on our body.
00:14:51.764 --> 00:14:56.102
They eat different foods, they have different prebiotic needs.
00:14:56.102 --> 00:15:07.480
So by getting a very wide array of different prebiotics, you're beautifully feeding all these different bacteria and it will have the most profound effect positively on your health.
00:15:07.794 --> 00:15:18.654
So the main takeaway here is there are three main prebiotics that we know of fiber fiber, fiber fiber, polyphenols and resistant starches.
00:15:18.654 --> 00:15:24.111
We've covered what those are today, some of the simple ways to get them, but your main takeaway is what?
00:15:24.111 --> 00:15:27.833
Eat more whole plant foods, get a variety.
00:15:27.833 --> 00:15:32.090
And one simple way to do that is look at the color on your plate.
00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:34.672
What color is missing, sister?
00:15:34.672 --> 00:15:37.072
What color is not there, brother?
00:15:37.072 --> 00:15:40.249
What are you missing out on in that color family?
00:15:40.249 --> 00:15:40.711
That's good.
00:15:40.711 --> 00:15:45.910
I mean you might be eating a brighter plate, but maybe it's all green and you just don't get any.
00:15:45.910 --> 00:15:47.171
And greens are great for you.
00:15:47.171 --> 00:15:50.409
You need to be eating your greens, but add in some purples.
00:15:50.409 --> 00:15:55.615
Add in some reds some blues, some orange, some yellow.
00:15:55.615 --> 00:15:59.995
Make it pretty and it's going to taste even better.
00:16:00.264 --> 00:16:05.653
And it may sound cliche to say, eat the rainbow but seriously eat the rainbow.
00:16:06.985 --> 00:16:08.625
Absolutely so.
00:16:08.625 --> 00:16:23.529
Right now, today, I want you to start noticing the colors that are missing from your plate and as you visit the supermarket or the farmer's market the next time, I want you to look for things that are that color and try something new or something old that you just don't need anymore.
00:16:23.529 --> 00:16:26.933
Get these colorful, wonderful whole plant foods on your plate.
00:16:26.933 --> 00:16:29.091
Don't worry about taking fiber supplements.
00:16:29.091 --> 00:16:35.613
Trust me, when you start eating closer and closer to 100%, a whole food, plant base fiber's not going to be such a concern for you.
00:16:35.613 --> 00:16:36.869
It's just not.
00:16:36.869 --> 00:16:41.471
Resistance starches and polyphenols won't be something you need to even worry about.
00:16:41.471 --> 00:16:53.894
But we tell you these things so that you understand why whole plant foods are so important for you, why these foods that God told us are the absolute best to fuel our body, according to Genesis 1.29.
00:16:53.894 --> 00:16:55.048
Why is that?
00:16:55.048 --> 00:16:58.433
He's given us the tools and the research and the information.
00:16:58.433 --> 00:17:08.326
It's there, it's been in the nutritional research for so long and it just backs up what he's already told us, which he's so great at doing time and again.
00:17:08.326 --> 00:17:15.328

Hey, this is what I'm trying Purple potatoes.
00:17:30.167 --> 00:17:30.509
Look at that.
00:17:30.509 --> 00:17:32.491
I've never tried these before and you've got it in your hand.
00:17:32.491 --> 00:17:33.730
It's going into your baggie.
00:17:33.730 --> 00:17:36.230
