Chasing Akkermansia
I’m chasing akkermansia
I’m racing to the health shop
Hopping from aisle to aisle
So that I can find some beneficial bacteria
I need more akkermansia
So I have to change my food!
This is essential to the quality of life
Walnuts could help me and
Set me free of the bad bacteria
Pomegranate juice and Cranberry Juice could pave the way
I know that sugar can destroy the good bacteria
While akkermansia can help me get rid of some toxins!
I’m looking for sauerkraut in aisle one
This might be quite fun
To my left, Kimchi shouts at me
While the apple cider vinegar points to me
Further down I see the dill fermented cucumbers
All of it appears to be sour but I realize that
This could be the power in the gut for transformation!
In the end, I need more akkermansia
So I have to change my food!
This is essential to the quality of life
