>I do get some exercise, typically yard work and landscaping, sawing and chopping up firewood
sounds good, i wish i could do that but i am still living in an inner city chickencoop even though i have been craving more rural life.

>for the harsh winters we have.

winter is such a burden but also quite the challenge that requires growth. anatomically humans even from northern climates are not adapted enough to comfortably endure winter; the heavy lifting is done be technology. it's hard to be a fruit eater in a cold place because fruit cools the body so much, this makes me wonder about the monkey days. maybe pre-human monkeys who half-lived on trees sit in the tree on a hot day and eat ripe fruit during the hottest parts of the day as to benefit most from the cooling effect.

not being nomadic and moving with the comfortable climate and being tethered to a place that gets very cold for part of the year increasingly looks unappealing to me as i age.

>I take care of a couple dozen chickens and their coop which requires labor.
having chickens around is probably crazy, i have no idea what they are like yet. if i did believe in protein and animal products i think i'd go for chicken eggs from selfraised chicken too. i know too much to eat that glue though, this (mostly) clean digestion that i am going after is too desirable and difficult to maintain of a combo to break it with protein.


>I'm not fat or anything. You are correct about gut health though, which is why I also include Kimchi in my diet. Kimchi is simply formented garlic, green onion, korean chili pepper and cabbage. The fermentation is incredibly healthy for your gut and digestion and helps keep your body slim. I eat a small bowl of Kimchi three to four times a week.

i don't want to discouraging you from trying this in the least, i have not tried it but i expect the benefit from it to be too small to matter. most people are so full of undigested matter and so behind on their digestive system running clean, what difference does it make if the microorganisms are slightly more able to work, they are still only using teaspoons trying to carry off a mountain of mud. every benefit you might get from slightly improved activity remains meaningless in the face of your bowels remaining glued and the inevitable consequence of suffering that result from it.
