Gut Health, What's New

NEW! Fermented Hemp+

May 23 2018 Lectin Free Wholefoods

The hemp leaf has long been a symbol of anarchy, prohibition, sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. But now, thanks to new legislation passed in Australia late last year, hemp is now free to be a symbol of vibrant health and legal to be consumed as food.

You’ve probably seen hemp seed, oil and protein health food shops and even supermarkets. These are all offer benefits to your body in various ways. But allow us to introduce you to Fermented Hemp Plus—we’ve created the world’s first fermented hemp blend.

Fermented Hemp+ by Probiotic Foods

We have taken nutrient dense hemp protein and seeds along with eight other vegan foods and fermented them with an organic mother culture. Fermented Hemp+ is 100% certified organic and rich in a balance of omega, 3, 6 and 9 essential fats, bioavailable amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
The fermentation process releases nutrition to the cells in an absorbable form and enriches the balance of good microbes in the gut with a diverse range of beneficial food based bacteria.
Who can benefit from Fermented Hemp+?
  1. Anyone who wants to boost protein and essential fat intake especially vegans and vegetarians, sports people, kids and teens, the elderly and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  2. Recovery from illness and chronic disease when nutrient dense, easy to absorb foods are vital.
  3. Anyone suffering from gut health issues where a prebiotic and probiotic can help bring gut bacteria back to balance.
  4. Those wanting to follow a low lectin diet as fermented Hemp+ is lectin free. Lectins are compounds in foods that can cause our cells to clump together creating health issues. (More on that in our next blog.)
“Omega 3 deficiency is the single biggest nutrient deficiency in modern times and more health problems are attributed to eating the wrong types of fats than anything else.”
Udo Erasmus ‘Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill’

 

OMG omegas!

The major health benefit of hemp is the balanced ratio of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. There are two fatty acids which are essential to the body and can only be found in the diet: omega 6 fatty acid (linoleic acid), and omega 3 fatty (alpha-linolenic acid). Hemp is a rich source of both of these essential fats and laboratory tests show Probiotic Foods’ Fermented Hemp+ has an excellent balance of omega 3,6 and 9.
When you give your car a good oil and grease change notice the difference. It is the same with good quality omega 3 fats:
  • they keep your hair and skin silky,
  • create juicy hormones,
  • keep your heart and blood pumping smoothly,
  • Support cognitive function  brain for mental health
  • Support joint health
  • support the immune system by resolving inflammation
Simply put, good oils are the body’s natural antidote to inflammation and inflammation is the basis of virtually all disease.
As we are learning, the gut controls the dial on our inner ecosystem and inflammation. When gut bacteria are in balance and doing their job, they support the immune system to reduce inflammation. New research is showing that eating the right types of fat can improve our gut microbiome in similar ways to eating the right types of fibre.
Eat a variety of good quality fats and oils and limit, fried, heated and treated oils in processed foods (e.g. avoid canola oil and sunflower oil in commercial hummus, pesto, rice cakes, muesli, rice milk etc.).
