There is new concern that the intake of low-fiber diets associated with the convenience of modern life lead by our face- paced society has effects on future generations.

Extinction of a bacterial species can make recovery impossible through healthy eating alone. The gut microbiome requires a diversity of bacteria present to function naturally.
Many processed foods are fiber-free and most food consumed is extremely low in fiber. Convenience is hindering our bodies natural bacteria. To put it into perspective how little fiber our society is consuming, it is about 1/10th that of less industrialized societies. Disruptions in the gut microbiome can lead to autoimmune diseases. Our gut is where our nutrients are broken down and vitamins produced. A balance in the gut flora is the first step. Your gut flora levels can turn an illness on or off.

70% of the immune cells in the body live in your intestine. These immune cells circulate throughout the body. The gut microbiota directs how the immune cells behave in other parts of the body. Microbes in the gut shed proteins, carbohydrates and other molecules that can leave the gut and play a role in either conjuring up or suppressing disease.
Try to introduce more fibers into your diet. Many foods are naturally high in fiber such as bran, berries, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and most green vegetables. Avocados are high in fiber. Try a delicious healthy guacamole by mixing ripe avocado, diced onion and tomato, and some green peas for a high fiber snack that tastes great too.
