What Happens
When You Throw A Banana Peel Out In Your Garden?
Decomposition occurs through bio degradation, a remarkable process carried out by bacteria, that converts matter into constituent molecules. Their crucial presence prevents the accumulation of lifeless remains and waste. Moreover, bacteria within our bodies synthesise vitamins, enzymes, and hormones, playing a vital role. They assist in the absorption of essential minerals and nutrients, impacting our health, appearance, brain function, and immune system. Beneficial bacteria faithfully aid in absorbing vital nutrients from our diet, ensuring overall well-being and attractiveness.

So How Did We Actually Begin To Neglect Our Better Halves?
Our Western Diet
The dietary shift since the Industrial Revolution has led to a significant change in our eating habits. Homemade meals have been replaced by processed foods like snacks, drinks, and unhealthy options. Grains and millet, such as rice, bread, biscuits, dosa, and idli, are now consumed at unprecedented levels. This shift has resulted in nutritional deficiencies for us and our partners. Moreover, we have neglected bacteria-rich foods like natural curd, sauerkraut, and simple vinegar and salt pickles, in favour of fried pickles and refrigerated yogurts instead. As a result, our intake of beneficial bacteria, known as "PRO-BIOTICS," has greatly decreased.
Other Man-Made Causes
Excessive focus on sanitization and sedentary lifestyles have reduced our exposure to beneficial bacteria. Antibiotic misuse and Caesarean sections are the main culprits behind this decline. Antibiotics, effective against harmful bacteria, also eliminate beneficial ones. Consumption of these medications without a prescription disrupts the balance and diversity of the gut flora. During birth, infants acquire beneficial bacteria through the ingestion of fluids in the birth canal, initiating colonisation of their sterile gut. Cesarean sections hinder this, leading to a deficiency of vital gut flora. Fortunately, supplements and exposure to beneficial bacteria can address this imbalance.
