Dr. Joseph Mercola is a physician and New York Times best-selling author. He was voted the Ultimate Wellness Game Changer by the Huffington Post and has been featured in several national media outlets including Time magazine, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Fox News, ABC News, TODAY, and The Dr. Oz Show
Dr. Joseph Mercola is a renowned advocate for optimal health through regular fasting and the creator of the Keto-Fast. He has recently published an article highlighting the role of the microbiome in bloating, a syndrome that many of our retreat guests experience before joining us at Vietnam Detox. In this blog, we share the key points Dr. Mercola discussed to help overcome bloating.
Bloating is a common condition affecting nearly 18% of the world’s population at least once a week, particularly among women. It is characterized by a feeling of fullness, tightness, or swelling in the abdomen, often due to gas buildup in the digestive tract. While many people experience bloating, it is not a normal state for the digestive system and may indicate underlying gut health issues.
The microbiome, consisting of trillions of microorganisms in the digestive tract, plays a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall health. An imbalance in these microorganisms, known as dysbiosis, can lead to various digestive issues, including bloating. Factors such as age, health status, diet, and environment influence the diversity and quantity of microorganisms in the gut.
Most individuals have dysfunctional mitochondria, which impairs the ability to produce cellular energy efficiently, crucial for maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Proper gut function requires energy to sustain an oxygen-free environment in the large intestine, where 99% of gut microbes reside. Enhancing mitochondrial function is vital for maintaining a healthy gut environment, suppressing pathogenic bacteria, and supporting beneficial microbial populations.
1.Reduce Intake of Linoleic Acid: Avoid ultra-processed foods, seed oils, chicken, pork, seeds, and nuts.
2.Consume Fermented Foods: A diet rich in fermented foods can increase microbiome diversity and decrease inflammation markers.
Incorporate traditional Vietnamese fermented foods into your diet, such as dưa chua (pickled vegetables), mắm tôm (fermented shrimp paste), and cà muối (fermented eggplant). These foods are not only rich in probiotics but also deeply rooted in Vietnamese culinary culture.
3.Start with Organic Fruit Juices: Gradually incorporate more fibrous carbohydrates and starches, along with increasing fermented food intake. Start with organic juices from local Vietnamese fruits like thanh long (dragon fruit), ổi (guava), and mãng cầu (soursop). These fruits are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that support gut health.
4.Take Supplemental Niacinamide: Essential for mitochondrial energy production, consider taking 50 milligrams three times a day.
5.Incorporate Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Postbiotics: These elements work synergistically to enhance gut health. Prebiotics nourish beneficial bacteria, probiotics are live microorganisms that contribute to a healthy microbiome, and postbiotics offer additional health benefits.
If you’re feeling bloated, chewing fennel seeds can provide immediate relief, as they help regulate intestinal motility and reduce gas.
At our Buông retreats at Le Ba Dang Memory Space in Hue, we emphasize the importance of the microbiome during our wellness classes. Our programs are designed to help guests understand and improve their gut health, addressing issues like bloating through education and practical strategies.

At Buông retreat, we understand the critical role the microbiome plays in our overall health. Our wellness classes are designed to educate and empower participants to nurture their gut health for optimal well-being.

Recent advancements in nutritional science have revealed the profound impact our dietary choices can have on our lifespan and overall health
Professor Kristina Norman, a leading expert in nutrition and gerontology, shares groundbreaking insights in a recent interview with “Der Spiegel, a German news magazine, that suggest adopting a healthy diet can significantly increase life expectancy, with potential gains of up to 13 years for those who start early. Even more encouraging, individuals who make dietary changes at 60 can add up to 9 years to their lives.
is professor for nutrition and gerontology and divides her time between the German Institute for Human Nutrition (DIfE) and the Department of Geriatrics of the Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
As we age, our bodies undergo significant changes that affect our nutritional requirements:
1. Body Composition Shifts: Around age 60, we begin to lose muscle mass, bone density, and organ mass, while fat tissue increases. These changes can lead to decreased physical performance and increased health risks.
2. Metabolic Changes: Our resting energy expenditure decreases, meaning we burn fewer calories at rest.
3. Increased Nutrient Needs: Despite needing fewer calories, our bodies often require more of certain nutrients to maintain optimal health
The typical Western diet, characterised by high consumption of saturated fats, animal proteins, salt, simple carbohydrates, and processed foods, is known to promote inflammation and accelerate aging.
This dietary pattern contributes to what scientists call “inflammaging” – a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with agerelated diseases.
Professor Norman emphasises the importance of a plant-focused diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. Such a diet provides essential nutrients, including polyphenols and carotenoids, which have anti-inflammatory and potentially cancer-protective properties
Mediterranean-Style Diet
This eating pattern, rich in vegetables, legumes, fish, nuts, and olive oil, with moderate wine consumption, is associated with increased longevity.
Protein Intake
For individuals over 65, increased protein intake (1 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight daily) is crucial to maintain muscle mass and prevent frailty
Microbiome Support
Consuming a variety of plant-based foods and fermented products promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which plays a crucial role in overall health and aging.
Nutrient Focus
Certain nutrients become more important as we age. For example, vitamin D requirements increase, as it helps maintain muscle function and prevent falls.
It’s never too late to improve your diet. Even individuals who switch to a healthier diet at 60 can potentially gain up to 9 additional years of life. However, the earlier one adopts healthy eating habits, the greater the potential benefits
The best time to take action was yesterday. The second best time is today
Interestingly, traditional Vietnamese cuisine aligns well with many of these dietary recommendations:
1. Plant-based focus: Vietnamese cuisine naturally incorporates a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, providing essential nutrients and antioxidants.
2. Balanced protein sources: While Western diets often rely heavily on red meat, Vietnamese cuisine balances animal proteins with plant-based options like tofu and legumes.
3. Cooking methods: Vietnamese dishes often use lighter cooking techniques like steaming and boiling, as opposed to the frying common in Western cuisine.
This alignment makes Vietnamese food a potential model for healthy eating patterns that promote longevity and wellness.
Professor Norman points to exciting developments in personalised nutrition. With advancements in measurement technologies and artificial intelligence, we may soon be able to create individualised nutrition programs based on factors like microbiome composition and genetic makeup.
Vietnam Detox: Putting Science into Practice: At Vietnam Detox, we have designed our fasting retreats and wellness classes to complement these dietary insights and promote long-term health:
Buchinger Fasting Retreats: Help reset the body’s inflammatory responses. Promote cellular repair and regeneration. Support weight management and metabolic health
Macronutrient Focus
Microbiome Health
Healthy Eating Habits
Mindful Eating
1. Increase plant-based foods: Aim to fill half your plate with vegetables at each meal.
2. Choose whole grains: Replace refined grains with whole grain alternatives.
3. Incorporate lean proteins: Balance animal proteins with plant-based sources like legumes and tofu.
4. Embrace healthy fats: Use olive oil and include nuts and seeds in your diet.
5. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
6. Practice portion control: Eat mindfully and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
7. Limit processed foods: Reduce intake of packaged snacks, sugary drinks, and fast food.
The insights from Professor Norman’s research underscore the profound impact our dietary choices can have on our health and lifespan. By adopting a plant-focused, nutrient-rich diet and staying attuned to our changing nutritional needs as we age, we can take significant steps towards healthier, longer lives.
At Vietnam Detox, we’re committed to helping our guests implement these scientific insights into their daily lives. Through our retreats and classes, participants gain valuable knowledge and practical skills to create a health-promoting diet that combines the best of Vietnamese culinary traditions with cutting-edge nutritional science.
Remember, whether you’re in your 30s or your 60s, it’s never too late to harness the power of nutrition for better health and longevity. Let Vietnam Detox be your guide on this transformative journey towards optimal health and wellness through the power of nutrition and mindful eating.
