CHANGING DIETS

Our relationship with our microbes has evolved over millennia, but modern eating patterns have changed rapidly, shifting from a diet rich in unprocessed plant wholefoods packed with dietary fibre, to one high in animal fats, animal proteins, refined sugar and highly processed products.

The food we eat not only nourishes us but also has an impact on the composition of our inner microbial ecosystem. While we may not all be lucky enough to inherit a robust gut microbiota, the dietary choices we make have a significant effect on it. Much of the food essential for these beneficial microbes, such as fermentable fibre (see pages 16–19), comes exclusively from plants, and research increasingly shows that they hold the keys to good health.

HOW PLANTS FEED OUR GUT MICROBES This chart shows how the food we eat is either digested in the small intestine or passes through into the large intestine, where it is broken down by microbes.

Eating plant foods

Whole fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts and wholegrains contain macronutrients, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates, including fibre and starch, as well as vitamins and minerals. Plant foods also contain health-promoting phytochemicals.

Digestion in the small intestine

Our food is firstly broken down mechanically by chewing in the mouth and pounding in the stomach, before it passes into the intestines for digestion.

90–95 per cent of the food we eat is broken down and absorbed into the body in the small intestine. Most macro- and micronutrients are easily absorbed, but fibre and starch resist digestion.

Digestion by microbes in the large intestine

Indigestible dietary fibre, including resistant starch and fructans, and phytochemicals pass from the small to the large intestine.

Most microbes reside in the large intestine and help us to absorb nutrients by breaking down dietary fibre, phytochemicals and some vitamins. Microbes produce short-chain fatty acids and other molecules that help to increase our immunity and support good physical and mental health. The large intestine also helps to absorb fluids and process waste.

Radishes (Raphanus sativus)

  • Sun and light A study into 13 cultivars of radishes grown in three different altitude locations in Korea found glucosinolate levels were up to 33 times greater in the highest location. This is thought to be due to the environmental stress caused by the high UV levels and the differences between night and day temperatures. Other studies that show phenolic content increases with higher levels of sunlight exposure. For those of us not planning to move to a mountain location, simply grow radishes in full sun and aim for more exposed locations.
  • Sprouting success Radish sprouts have nearly four times the levels of glucosinolates, and nearly seven times the amount of polyphenols, as mature radishes. Sprout seeds of radish ‘Sango’, which are an excellent source of anthocyanins.

GROWING FOR GUT HEALTH

Health benefits

Radishes’ antioxidant activity helps to enhance health and prevent chronic diseases. There are many types available to the home-grower, apart from the French breakfast and pink globe varieties, that offer other benefits. All radishes contain glucosinolates and polyphenols, including anthocyanins in the skins of red and purple types, while black radishes have the highest levels of sulforaphane.

  • Pick a type There are hundreds of radishes, including the Asian daikon or mooli, black winter, and sweet radishes, such as the Chinese ‘Watermelon’ and green ‘Shawo Fruit’. Adding a few more types of radish to your plot will increase the diversity in your diet.
  • Easy does it Sow seed directly in the ground in a sunny spot from mid-spring to late summer. The distance between plants depends on the type of radish. Traditional round radishes or French breakfast types can be thinned to about 5cm (2in). Daikon or winter radishes are best sown in late summer and need more space–thin to 20–30cm/8–12in.
