Ep 139. The Hygiene Hypothesis - Why Getting Dirty is the Best Way to Eat Clean

Have you heard about the 'Hygiene Hypothesis'?  It can mean that over-sanitized environments can impact health over the long term. Antibacterial products and hand sanitizers can wipe out a lot of the 'good' bacteria on our skin and in our gut. This can impact how our body functions and our health overtime.  Today, we discuss this idea and how we can take action to be less germophobic :) Episodes mentioned in this one, include: Nutrition Nuggets 73 Plant Foods for Breakfast https://youtu.be/lej7xHKwEcw Nutrition Nuggets 20 Health Halo of Certain Foods https://youtu.be/hFegf5Dfmjw Ep 68 Food Waste https://youtu.be/f-NHsdolwJE Nutrition Nuggets 72 Greens https://youtu.be/Hio4uTJsi8E Ep 100 Benefits of Superfoods https://youtu.be/1-7WrIbF97M Nutrition Nuggets 27 Tomatoes https://youtu.be/886cMIVZmqU Enjoying the show?
