And another thing is what helps to repair the mucus layer they've shown recently is these short chain fatty acids. Where do you get short chain fatty acids from? You get them! They're a result of fermentation of good carbohydrates. So, you might have heard of butyrate, profulinate, acetate. So, if you eat legumes regularly, as they do in India or Africa (That was the traditional diet) or in Greece. Traditionally, that was the meat from the soil. What you're doing is you're, actually, enabling some leftover food, which is fibre, which you can't digest with your human enzymes, but it's food for the good bugs. They're fermenting it, making these short chain fatty acids which tone down inflammation, repair the gut mucus layer and do a lot of other good things as well like lower your cholesterol and other things.

Printed "main", the speaker says "mucus"

Explanation: Listen again to "the mucus layer". "main" is on the page, so listen to the whole word to hear the difference.

Printed "long", the speaker says "short"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "short chain fatty acids". The printed word "long" begins with a different letter, so trust the sound you hear.

Printed "legitimates", the speaker says "legumes"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "eat legumes regularly". The printed word "legitimates" is much longer on the page, so listen for the shorter word.

Printed "bringing", the speaker says "enabling"

Explanation: The speaker says "actually enabling some" not "bringing". Printed shows "bringing" but the first letters differ, so wait for the full word.

Printed "fearing", the speaker says "fermenting"

Explanation: Listen for "They're fermenting it". Printed shows "fearing", but the middle of the word is different, so follow the audio.

Printed "lining", the speaker says "layer"

Explanation: You will hear "gut mucus layer". Printed gives "lining", so listen to the whole phrase before you click.

Printed "higher", the speaker says "lower"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "lower your cholesterol". The page has "higher", which starts with another letter, so trust the sound.

"profulinate" matches the audio

Explanation: "butyrate, profulinate, acetate" looks rare and may seem wrong. The speaker says "profulinate" exactly, so do not click it.

"fermentation" matches the audio

Explanation: "They're a result of fermentation of good carbohydrates" has a long word that may look tricky. The speaker says "fermentation" exactly, so do not click it.
