Treatments to help prevent lifestyle disease by feeding the gut’s microbiome. Processed foods in western diets lack the bacteria and fiber necessary to keep healthy.
The Pharmacy bakery – Lifestyle disease treatment and prevention centre.
Lifestyle disease and is associated with prolonged exposure to three modifiable lifestyle behaviours: smoking, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, that can result in the development of chronic diseases, specifically heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and some types of cancer. The Western lifestyle, including over-feeding of highly refined diets and sedentary behaviour, is associated with high prevalence of chronic conditions. And it's only going to get worse, with global deaths from chronic disease set to rise by 70% by 2030. Lifestyle change, known to medics as social prescribing is now accepted practice by the NHS. However, without the facilities to measure compliance or effects of change is often to no avail.
Lifestyle disease can be directly linked to our gut microbiome. Processed food in our western diet lacks the necessary bacteria and fibre our gut needs to keep us happy and healthy. As more research emerges about the gut’s microbiome and the array of complex chemical reactions that take place in the gut, and how it communicates with the rest of our body. It seems clear that when we treat health we must treat our guts microbiome.
In response to the lifestyle disease crisis and knowledge about the gut’s microbiome, I have designed this range of baked treatments. These treatments, which are designed to keep your guts microbiome healthy, through probiotic and prebiotic foods, grown cultures, wild fibre rich grains, and selected fruit and veg which contribute to a diverse range of nutrition and bacteria. We can treat and prevent lifestyle disease.
