We continue our series about deaths you don’t have to die from by talking about immunizations. There are behaviors that we have that can rob us of the chance to live out our full life span; in the United States this is considered 80 years for women and 75 for men. 

We now have vaccines to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, helping people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. Immunization currently prevents 3.5 million to 5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, flu, and tuberculosis. Diseases we no longer need to get sick and potentially die from if we receive immunizations against them.

You may not be able to cheat death, but can you delay it?

We know that everyone dies but the timing may be modified by our lifestyle choices.  Learn what the research says can prevent premature death. https://bit.ly/4eNBj3C

Premature death is defined as a death that occurs before the average age of death in a particular population. It is a measure of unfulfilled life expectancy; in the United States it is death occurring before age 80. Up to half of all premature (or early) deaths in the United States are due to behavioral and other preventable factors—including modifiable habits such as tobacco use, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Four factors—poor diet, high blood pressure, obesity, and tobacco use—are identified as primary causes of early death.

Magnificent Microbes!

As we continue our series about ways to slow our march toward the end of life, our topic this week is about our microbiome. You have probably heard of this term, but may wonder what it means and how it applies to you. 

Our gut microbiome are microbes, and their genetic material is found in our gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria in our gut affect everything from our digestion to our mental health. 

What does Our Microbiome do for Us?

Marianne shares the evolution of our microbiome and how it develops diversity. This is important because different bacteria help us digest food, produce vitamins, increase absorption, helps our immunity, and prevent bad bacteria from taking over.

Why is Balance Important?

When something disrupts the balance, such as antibiotics, it can allow "opportunistic growth" of organisms such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff), a germ that causes diarrhea and colitis.

How to Increase your Gut Diversity

We talk about several ways to foster diversity in your microbiome. Listen for several tips!
