Yesterday was harsh day of this season. Heavy rain, humid, and extreme heat. My friend and I, working on critical task, felt exhausted. Dehydrated.
Friend suggested :”I think it is again Vitamin B12 deficiency! I think I will need injections again!”
I wondered. How a simple season driven exhaustion is turned into deficiency! ЁЯЩБ
There were two things at play for both of us. 1) Stress induced non-healthy GUT 2) lack of healthy food for days.
Solution is to take rest. Worship Ganesha and eat healthy season driven food!
Modern medicine has reduced wholesome food into supplement status symbols.
Oh, B12 ? Take injections!
Oh Vit A? Take this supplement!
This is nothing but eyewash. Unless we correct our GUT, there is no hope for malnutrition.Malnutrition may manifest as either obesity or undernutrition. Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays an important role in the harvest, storage, and expenditure of energy obtained from the diet.
One person might have stronger nerves than another because she has a better stock of vitamin BтАУproducing bacteria. Another person might be able to deal easily with bit of bread mold eaten by mistake. Yet another might have a tendency to gain weight because the тАЬchubbyтАЭ bacteria in his gut feed him a bit too willingly. Science is just beginning to understand that each of us is an entire ecosystem.
You take all costly B-12 injections or Vitamin A supplement or Vitamin C but if your GUT is not healthy, they are garbage and will be purged within 72 hrs via urine and stool!
There is no shortcut for healthy life. Stop nonsensical torture on body first. Stop all processed acidic food so that bacteria have chance to get flourished in you GUT. Then stop stressful events in life. Late night parties, tongue-lust driven non-seasonal food – stop it if you really want your B12 injections to work.
Above all physical nutrition, health is all mental. To correct your mental stress and linked sick GUT, this is best season. рдЧрдгрдкрддрд┐ is protector of GUT. As per Tantra-Shashtra, рдЧрдгрдкрддрд┐ lives in Muladhara, an energy center near GUT. It is your mind that helps рдкреНрд░рд╛рдгрдордп рд╢рд░реАрд░ (cellular intelligence) to form health рдЕрдиреНрдирдордп рд╢рд░реАрд░ (physical body) (Do not ask proof. Modern proof-based science cannot swim in this sea of knowledge at this moment). Experiment! Does not matter if you are an atheist! Or follow any other religion. рдЧрдгрдкрддрд┐ is eternal, beyond religious boundaries.
Worship and surrender to рдЧрдгрдкрддрд┐. That is the beginning of the yearly healthy GUT.

Bacteria as vitamin suppliers to their host: a gut microbiota perspective.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22940212
Food-related lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as well as human gut commensals such as bifidobacteria can de novo synthesize and supply vitamins. This is important since humans lack the biosynthetic capacity for most vitamins and these must thus be provided exogenously. Although vitamins are present in a variety of foods, deficiencies still occur, mainly due to malnutrition as a result of insufficient food intake and because of poor eating habits. Fermented milks with high levels of B-group vitamins (such as folate and riboflavin) can be produced by LAB-promoted and possibly bifidobacteria-promoted biosynthesis. Moreover, certain strains of LAB produce the complex vitamin cobalamin (or vitamin B12). In this review, fermented foods with elevated levels of B-group vitamins produced by LAB used as starter cultures will be covered. In addition, genetic abilities for vitamin biosynthesis by selected human gut commensals will be discussed.
Vitamin B12 synthesis by human small intestinal bacteria.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7354869
In man, physiological amounts of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) are absorbed by the intrinsic factor mediated mechanism exclusively in the ileum. Human faeces contain appreciable quantities of vitamin B12 or vitamin B12-like material presumably produced by bacteria in the colon, but this is unavailable to the non-coprophagic individual. However, the human small intestine also often harbours a considerable microflora and this is even more extensive in apparently healthy southern Indian subjects. We now show that at least two groups of organisms in the small bowel, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella sp., may synthesise significant amounts of the vitamin.
Effects of Gut Microbes on Nutrient Absorption and Energy Regulation
Malnutrition may manifest as either obesity or undernutrition. Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays an important role in the harvest, storage, and expenditure of energy obtained from the diet. The composition of the gut microbiota has been shown to differ between lean and obese humans and mice; however, the specific roles that individual gut microbes play in energy harvest remain uncertain. The gut microbiota may also influence the development of conditions characterized by chronic low-level inflammation, such as obesity, through systemic exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide derived from the gut microbiota. In this review, the role of the gut microbiota in energy harvest and fat storage is explored, as well as differences in the microbiota in obesity and undernutrition.
Can you mention any exercises/ pranayams to help the gut ……Also what food do you define as healthy ?
I will do it in future notes.
” However, the human small intestine also often harbours a considerable microflora and this is even more extensive in apparently healthy southern Indian subjects. We now show that at least two groups of organisms in the small bowel, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella sp., may synthesise significant amounts of the vitamin.” — i know that i am being very reductionist here but isn’t it a case of Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth ? Small intestine i thought should be relatively sterile.
” The gut microbiota may also influence the development of conditions characterized by chronic low-level inflammation, such as obesity, through systemic exposure to bacterial lipopolysaccharide derived from the gut microbiota” — both Klebsiella and pseudomonas are gram negative so hence they synthesize lipopolysaccharide which is one of the most potent endogenous toxin in human body . I know this is neither possible nor practical in real world but in experiments ,mice that were kept in perfectly sterile environment with no gut bacteria generally don’t get obesity, diabetes etc.
