Why is it important to take care of the "soil" in your body – and how is it related to metabolism?

Imagine your body as a beautiful, blooming garden. Every flower in it symbolizes your energy, immunity, healthy skin, good mood, and quality sleep. But what is the foundation of every life-pulsing garden? Quality, living, and well-nourished soil.

In the world of health, this "soil" represents our gut microbiome – a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms that determines how our body and mind function. And a healthy microbiome is the key to a properly functioning metabolism. This is where most problems and solutions begin.

What it means to "have healthy soil"

Our guts are not just an ordinary "tube" through which food passes. They are an intelligent and constantly changing ecosystem. The bacteria in them decide what is absorbed, what is excreted, what the body stores as fat, and what it converts into energy.

When we do not care for this ecosystem, it can lead to inflammation, bloating, slowed metabolism, fatigue, and even mental discomfort.

Why metabolism is so important

Metabolism is a set of processes through which our body converts food into energy. If it works properly, we burn efficiently, have vitality, do not accumulate excess fat, and feel light. If it is disrupted, the body stores reserves, slows down, and ages faster.

Few people know that a healthy metabolism starts right in the gut. When the gut "soil" is depleted, the body does not absorb nutrients, cannot eliminate toxins, and poorly regulates blood sugar levels. The result is a slow metabolism, yo-yo dieting effects, and a feeling of heaviness even when eating little.

How to support healthy soil and kickstart metabolism

1. Fermented foods – sauerkraut, miso, fermented drinks like Herb Zyme from Esthe Pro Labo
2. Fasting and gut reset – controlled detox programs give the gut space to regenerate
   
3. Fiber from fermented vegetables – acts as food for good bacteria
   
4. Increasing body temperature by 1 °C – supports enzymatic activity and burning
   
5. Healthy sleep, breath, and movement – the gut is closely connected to the brain through the gut-brain axis

Healthy soil = beautiful skin, a slim figure, and a joyful mind

If you feel that your body is out of balance, focus less on how much you eat and more on what your body can absorb. Gut health and proper metabolism determine how we feel, how we look, and how slowly or quickly we age.

If you want to transform your body, start right here – in your "inner garden." Plant the right seeds and watch everything bloom.
