    What really shocked me was that it took a few days for my body to get used to eating healthily. I was mainly eating beans and cornbread, and it seemed to just not be able to easily digest it at first. I’d imagine that hyperprocessed stuff is crippling our body’s ability to properly digest, because all the processing has been done already.

    Of course, now I’m imagining kids that have eaten nothing but chicken nuggets since they could have solid food, and a lot of America’s food addiction and dietary issues make so much sense.

      Our digestion of unprocessed foods improved with the addition of some fermented foods that maybe tuned up our gut biomes. Milk kefir in particular is a diverse probiotic and is easy to make yourself at room temperature on a kitchen counter.
