According to a very recent Nature paper http://www.nature.co...ature16504.html a low-fiber diet induce a significant and just partial reversible decrease in the gut microbiome diversity.
And this "karma" goes via mothermilk to new generations.

This is a partial explanation of an increasing rate of diseases in US and some other countries. Not only physical, but mental health problems to.

A bad proportions of pathogenic strains, and a low biodiversity increase in my opinion some inflammatory processes which lead to an accelerating ageing speed.
So reversing this is a good idea.

According to Justin Sonnenburgs recent paper, restoring a high fiber diet isn't enough.

So, what can we do, to reverse this thing?
I think, there are some unproven steps, such as:
- long term probiotic use

- camping in forests and tourism

- avoiding a long term sterile environment

- high fiber diet

- no fast food, sugar and margarine

Let's do a brain storm. Dear readers, can you complete this theme?

- avoiding a long term sterile environment

I'm not saying this as a jab towards Americas but, considering some of your habits - outside\inside canines, walking with your shoes on inside the house, commuting long distance for work and school etc, I highly doubt living in a "sterile environment " is something you have to worry about.

 

As for avoiding sugar, that'd be harder than you think considering it's used as a preservative in most of your foods.

I think you bring up a good point...

 

Of course things like restoring probiotics whenever someone uses antibiotics.

 

Also Prebiotics such as fruit or vegetable peels.

 

Things like sauerkraut help also.

 

I think as long as there is enough access to nature a sterile environment shouldn't affect gut flora too much.

 

I wish there was a way to easily know which strains one is missing, or which type of strains. Like if someone can see a picture of their gut flora to see where it needs help.
