The links between soil micro biome and gut micro biome are astonishing! Not only are their functions and intelligence comparable, but their effects on human health are greatly interconnected. In fact, microbiome researchers often refer to the human gut (intestinal ecosystem) as our “inner garden”.
Soil Biology Is On & In The Food We Eat
Human health is directly tied to soil health and the billions of microbes that keep soil healthy. The essential nutrients that soil biology supply to the plant roots are necessary for a healthy human gut. The human GI tract is home to billions of microbes that are known to impact everything in our body from our energy levels, mental health, immune system, neurological system, skin, hormones and even our risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
The quality of our gut micro biome impacts what nutrients our body absorbs and uptakes when we eat fresh produce.
When trying to eat healthy most people tend to look at the produce itself, however research shows the quality of the soil in which that produce was grown is more indicative of a plants nutritional value.
The symbiotic relationship between plant & soil biota mirrors the relationship between humans and our internal digestive system (gut microbiota).
When soil lacks the right balance of microbes, the natural symbiosis can be disrupted, leaving plants nutrient-deficient and, subsequently, less nourishing to the humans who eat them.
