Most foods give us energy, but our bodies also need foods that help rebuild and renew our cells every day. We call these metabolic foods because they support the processes that keep us healthy and thriving.
Your body may look the same each day, but behind the scenes, your cells are always being replaced. To build strong, healthy new cells, your body relies on metabolic foods.
Modern diets are high in energy foods but often lack enough metabolic foods, leading to long-term health problems. Metabolic foods also help us feel full, so we do not overeat.
Our goal is to make metabolic foods more accessible, so everyone can live a longer, healthier life.
Deficiencies
Blood is a good example of metabolic foods at work.
Haemoglobin is essential because it absorbs oxygen from the lungs and distributes it to our muscles. Our bodies can make blood cells at the phenomenal rate of 2 million a second, but they only live for 120 days before they die and are expelled from our bodies.
The dark reddish-brown colour of our poo comes from iron, just as the dark, rich colour of healthy soil reflects its mineral richness.
Iron is often deficient in women, zinc in men, and there is a whole range of other minerals, such as magnesium, selenium and iodine, that are often deficient. Then there are vitamins, such as B12, along with phytonutrients from plants.
While we are still learning exactly how metabolic foods improve health, we know they work.
A tomato contains thousands of natural nutrients that cannot be replaced by synthetic supplements. Instead, we can follow the example of healthy cultures throughout history and grow real metabolic foods ourselves.
Most important are the microbes that breed in the soil, enter the plants, and then support our gut. A healthy gut helps support a healthy body.
It is simple and inexpensive.
We have studied how people who live long, healthy lives grow their food, and used this knowledge to create the Gbiota system — a proven way to grow metabolic foods. Our mission is to make this system available to everyone, so all can benefit.
