The intelligent control system that manages appetite, fat storage and overall health depends on nutrients and soil-based microbes found in genuinely fresh, biologically active food. Understanding how food works — and how to grow it — is the foundation of long-term health.
Food for Health
Food is the key to health.
Junk food is tasty, convenient, inexpensive but not healthy.
Genuine organic food may be healthy but is very expensive.
There is a third type of food which is both healthy and inexpensive.
But there is a third type of food which is both healthy and inexpensive, cheaper than junk food and healthier than organic food.
How can that possibly be? What is the catch? It takes a little effort to understand how food works in our bodies and to grow, or buy, this food takes a little effort, that is the cost of health.
This web is in two main sections.
Food and Health
Here we look at how food determines our health with a particular emphasis on our intelligent control system which regulates our bodies deciding how much and where we should store fat.
It is often argued that we get fat and sick because we eat too much – that is how we get fat our intelligent control system determines why we get fat, which is very different.
We generally get fat because of deficiencies in our diet, not simply excess calories.
While there is a genetic component we generally get fat and sometimes sick because of deficiencies in our diet so our intelligent control system sends signals that make us hungry and eat more than we need.
The soil in which our food is grown dominates our health.
There are many articles on how food affects our health but first step is to read ‘The essence’.
It may be interesting to understand how our intelligent control system regulates our bodies and how the microbiology in the soil affects our food and then our health but to get the benefits you have to eat food grown in biologically active soil.
That means either growing or at least buying Gbiota food.
Growing
The growing section covers the specialist growing system to grow plants that avoid deficiencies in our diet which are the root cause of chronic diseases.
Microbes play a crucial role in this forming part of our intelligent control system and processing minerals to produce the wide array of complex molecules our bodies need.
Microbes breed incredibly easily — the challenge is breeding the beneficial ones without breeding the harmful ones.
Microbes breed incredibly easily, the challenge is breeding the beneficial microbes without breeding the harmful microbes.
This is covered in the ‘growing’ section but the article ‘Summary: Creating Gbiota Beds and Boxes’ explains the basic principles.
Recommended action plan
The first step is to read these two overview articles ‘The Essence’ and ‘Summary: Creating Gbiota Beds and Boxes’.
These are free and you don’t have to sign in or anything, click and read which will give you a good understanding of how our intelligent control system regulates our bodies and how we can train and grow food to feed our intelligent control system.
You can then either sign up for free to read our articles on food and health which we publish most weeks or become a full Gbiota member and subscribe and receive technical support by email or video chat.
Gbiota is about breeding beneficial microbes in the soil, growing plants in that soil when the microbes transfer to our gut.
It is a simple, inexpensive and highly effective system — but it is important it is done right.
It is a simple, inexpensive and highly effective system and is in everyone’s interest that it is done right, hence we attach great importance to technical support.
So email me at colin@gbiota.com so we can chat about your project.
Lots of stuff
There are over 300 articles and 200 videos on this site, that is a lot of stuff and nobody expects you to view everything so here are some tips to make life easy.
The key point is that we all have an intelligent control system which regulates our bodies and the key to health is to learn to feed and train this control system.
If this control system is working as it should we don’t have to worry about taking a specific number of micrograms of B12 or Selenium or whatever, our intelligent control system learns over time what foods contain what nutrients or minerals, sends out signals so we want to eat those foods without even thinking about it.
We evolved eating natural foods grown locally — foods containing the microbes our bodies depend on.
We have been successfully doing this for a million years or so without a dietary handbook in sight, just by eating natural foods grown locally.
These foods naturally contain the microbes which form part of our intelligent control system and also process naturally occurring minerals which make them bio-available.
That was until we changed our food system so it was deficient in these microbes which has led to the modern epidemic of chronic diseases.
As these microbes breed in the soil it may seem obvious to start breeding these beneficial microbes in the soil again which is a simple and inexpensive process.
But that is not the conventional wisdom.
Gbiota is simply about how to breed these beneficial microbes in organic waste to make a nutrient-rich living soil then grow plants in this soil and eat the plants while fresh before the microbes die.
Despite its simplicity, this solution faces resistance because modern culture prefers complexity.
In a world which seems to worship complexity, it seems that such a simple solution to the major problem of the epidemic of chronic disease would be welcomed with open arms but that is not the case.\
If you feel that this is something you may like to undertake then you will need to sign up and become a full paying member when you will receive technical support.
However before you sign up and pay the money I suggest that you drop me an email, tell me a bit about your situation and I can make some suggestions on the best way to proceed.
You may want to be a home grower, you may want to become a Gbiota coach and advise new members or you may want to become a Gbiota grower and supply boxes to local people
