Hello everyone, this is Kuniko Iida, CEO of kunistyle. Today, I'd like to share the surprising connection between enzyme baths and fasting, and how they optimize the gut environment, based on my own gut bacteria test results.
What My Gut Flora Test Results Reveal
The gut bacteria test yielded very interesting results.
It was revealed that beneficial good bacteria, known as "longevity bacteria," "lean body type bacteria," and "beautiful skin bacteria," exist in an ideal balance within my gut.
Bacteroides coprocola
This is an important bacterium that decomposes dietary fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids, contributing to the stability of the gut environment.
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
Known as "super-excellent good bacteria" or longevity bacteria, it has anti-inflammatory effects and immune-regulating functions.
Bifidobacterium adolescentis
Common in young people to adults, these good bacteria support metabolism, immunity, and bowel movements.
Three "Beautiful Gut Bacteria" Worthy of Special Attention
Among the test results, I paid particular attention to the following three bacteria. These are highly regarded by health and beauty experts as indicators of an "ideal gut environment."
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
A Representative of Longevity Bacteria
It works to suppress inflammation and slow down cellular aging. It is effective for youthful skin, immune stability, and improving gut mucosal repair.
Roseburia
Butyrate-Producing Bacteria for a Lean Body Type
Decomposes dietary fiber to produce butyrate. It is often found in individuals with high insulin sensitivity and good glucose metabolism, acting as "gut rejuvenating bacteria."
Blautia
The Secret to Japanese Longevity and Beautiful Skin
Particularly abundant in the Japanese gut, it lowers the risk of obesity and diabetes. It has also been reported to be common in individuals with high skin moisture content.
Why My Gut Environment Is Ideal
Experts evaluated my gut flora as an "ideal type for anti-aging, metabolism, immunity, and mental stability." So, why am I able to maintain such a gut environment? The answer lies in the enzyme baths and fasting I have continued for over 15 years.
Benefits of Enzyme Bath
- Increased blood flow to intestinal walls due to fermentation heat-induced body temperature rise
- Promoted metabolism and detoxification through sweating
- Immune activation by the microbial environment of the fermentation space
- Promoted peristalsis of the intestines due to parasympathetic dominance
Benefits of Fasting
- Resetting of the gut environment and proliferation of good bacteria
- Increase in lean bacteria such as Akkermansia
- Repair and regeneration of the intestinal mucosa
- Decrease in inflammatory cytokines
Impact of the Fermentation Space on the Gut Environment
kunistyle's enzyme bath room is a special space where rice bran, cypress, and medicinal herbs ferment. This space is filled with living lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and enzyme metabolites.
Uptake through Fermented Breathing
The fermented air inhaled through the nose contains organic acids, enzymes, and lactic acid bacteria metabolites, which are taken into the body through the upper respiratory tract.
Promotion of Systemic Blood Circulation
Body temperature rises due to fermentation heat, increasing blood flow to the intestinal walls. An optimal temperature environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive is created.
Optimization of the Gut Environment
The synergistic effect of heat and fermented components balances the pH in the intestines, making it easier for beneficial bacteria to proliferate.
Continuous Gut Health Habits
The combination of regular enzyme baths and fasting helps to establish an ideal gut flora.
What Makes kunistyle Different
kunistyle is not just a facility for detoxification through enzyme baths.
As a specialist who has thoroughly studied enzyme nutrition, I, Kuniko Iida, have trained many fasting counselors. I continue to learn and apply the latest research in gut environment to my treatments.
Expert Knowledge as a Nutritionist
Acquired specialized knowledge and qualifications in nutritional science. Solid theory based on practice. We propose optimal programs tailored to each client's constitution.
Proven Track Record in Fasting Guidance
As an instructor of enzyme nutrition, I have trained numerous fasting counselors. I am thoroughly familiar with safe and effective fasting methods.
Continuous Learning and Evolution
Constantly studying the latest research in gut bacteria and nutrition to reflect it in treatments and counseling. We value an evidence-based approach.
To Further Improve Your Gut Environment
My gut environment is already in good condition, but I practice habits daily to further enhance it. I encourage everyone to adopt these habits.
Soluble Dietary Fiber
Consciously consume okra, seaweed, burdock root, etc. This helps increase Faecalibacterium and Blautia.
Polyphenols & Fermented Foods
Include green tea, cacao, natto, and miso in your daily diet. This suppresses oxidative stress and prevents aging.
One-Week Fasting
Light fasting once or twice a week to increase Akkermansia bacteria and strengthen the intestinal mucosa.
Regular Enzyme Baths
Maintain gut blood flow and a gut environment conducive to beneficial bacteria activity with enzyme baths once or twice a week.
