Stay Young - Ep 4: Stay Feeling Good

Michael reveals the best food to boost your mood, your energy
levels, reduce inflammation and improve your immune system. In
this episode, Michael discovers the benefits of fermented foods
and their live bacteria. He speaks to Professor Justin Sonnenburg
from Stanford University who’s recent clinical trial revealed
that eating fermented foods can increase your gut microbiome
diversity and reduce inflammation, one of the main drivers of
ageing. They discuss the role of your gut bacteria in increasing
the activity of key immune cells with knock-on effects across the
body, and why a healthy gut microbiome is so important for
feeling good. 63 year-old Donna Schwenk from California reveals
how discovering fermented foods has transformed her life and
given her the energy of someone decades younger. Producer:
