Hi, Randy Rolfe here! In today’s Vibrant Health video (#404), I’m diving into the fascinating (and alarming) role of microbes in our health and our climate.
?? Microbes are the foundation of the food chain supporting life in the soil, oceans, and even within our own bodies. But modern farming practices, pesticides, herbicides, and the overuse of antibiotics and antimicrobials are wiping them out.
?? New research shows that destroying microbes not only harms our gut and fuels antibiotic resistance, but also worsens climate change by reducing the earth’s natural ability to absorb carbon. One use of antibiotics can equal the carbon emissions of a car driving around the planet!
In this video, you’ll learn:
? Why healthy microbes are essential for soil, plants, animals, and people
? How antimicrobial chemicals in food, furniture, and clothing affect your gut health
? The link between antimicrobial resistance and hospital superbugs
? How lifestyle choices and natural foods can protect both your health and the planet
?? Staying healthy with real food, rest, hydration, and less stress helps you avoid unnecessary antibiotics supporting your immune system and the environment.
