Maintaining a wide diversity of gut microbiome is vital for good health. A large amount of these microbes can be acquired through fermented foods like yogurt, kombucha, and sauerkraut. Fermented foods and the microbes they provide have proven to improve digestion of lactose, aid in weight management, lower risk of type 2 diabetes, and lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
This guide to fermented foods provides a quick and dirty guide to increasing gut bacteria diversity and through fermented foods.

Many people wonder if they should eat breakfast before working out or hold off on consuming calories until after exercise. Recent research by the University’s Department for Health at the universities of Birmingham, Newcastle, and Stirling has shown that the pre-workout breakfast can actually increase post meal glucose utilization.
In this study, 12 healthy males were given a control breakfast and were required to rest for three hours prior to exercise. Blood glucose levels and muscle glycogen levels were then tested post exercise and rest. Researchers found that consuming breakfast actually made the body more effective at burning carbohydrates during exercise, “as well as increasing the rate the body digested and metabolised food eaten after exercise too.”
They compared the results to participants who skipped breakfast. The researchers found that fasting before exercise actually had the opposite effect and made the body far less efficient at burning carbohydrates during exercise. Researchers also discovered that the subjects were not only burning carbohydrates from their breakfast but from their muscle glycogen stores as well. This provides explanation for why there is rapid clearance of blood sugar after lunch.
This study has only assessed short term effects. Therefore, further research must be performed to discover long term implications.

30% of American Indians on the White Earth Reservation have Type 2, which is three times the national average.
Accessibility to fresh fruits and vegetables plays an integral role in a community’s health. Often we stumble upon “food deserts – regions where grocery stores with fresh, healthy options simply don’t exist.”
This summer, a new food truck has set out to make healthy eating more accessible to those who are not near grocery stores. White Earth Nation purchased a “healthy” food truck to help tribal members have access to healthy, locally produced and traditional foods.
Unhealthy eating habits are often tied to generations with limited access to fresh foods and can lead to chronic long-term health problems.
The goal of the new food truck is to provide more choices, as the White Earth Food truck travels to reservation villages in the summer with fresh produce and in the winter with other foods like squash, wild rice and preserves made from summer crops.

The FreeStyle Libre is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which automatically measures glucose readings day and night. This technology helps track glucose levels and in turn, manage diabetes. A new study suggest that CGM helps decrease health costs as it improves treatment adherence. Although people are still advised to perform standard glucose tests to confirm the accuracy, the monitor is reading and reporting glucose levels automatically through out the day.
The study suggest that from a cost perspective, the CGM saves money due to the lessened frequency of testing and materials necessary. The study also found that people with Type 1 and 2 experienced a reduction in hypoglycemia when using the CGM.
“For people with T1DM or T2DM who use MDI therapy, flash CGM has demonstrated improved adherence to the ADA recommendation as well as reduced acquisition cost when compared with routine SMBG.”
