Resistant starch is a carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the large intestine. As fiber ferments, it acts as a prebiotic and feeds beneficial gut bacteria. There are several types of resistant starch, categorized by structure and source. A single food can contain more than one type. Resistant starch is consistent with the opinions presented in
the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's "Guidelines for Diabetes Patients." This research, led by scientists at Newcastle University in the UK , demonstrates that regular consumption of resistant starch affects the balance of gut bacteria, reduces bad cholesterol, and reduces cancer risk by more than 60% .
The microbiome refers to the sum total of all microorganisms and their genetic information living in a specific environment. It is used not only in the human body but also in various areas such as plants, animals, and the environment. The human microbiome is unique to each individual and changes with age, eating habits, and environment . Because it significantly impacts health and disease, it is currently attracting attention in various fields such as disease treatment, health promotion, and beauty.
A microbiome diet is generally a balanced diet that includes prebiotic foods, which serve as food for beneficial bacteria, and probiotic foods, which directly ingest beneficial bacteria. Prebiotic foods include whole grains such as brown rice and oats, fermented foods such as kimchi and doenjang, garlic, onions, beans, vegetables, and fruits, while probiotic foods include kimchi, doenjang, and yogurt. The animal microbiome primarily includes the gut microbiome, which resides in the digestive tract, but is also found in various areas such as the skin and mouth. The gut microbiome plays an essential role in animal health, aiding digestion, nutrient absorption, regulating the immune system, and suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria .
The centerpiece of Babjitda's microbiome diet is 'resistant starch'.
In fact, studies have shown that people with higher gut microbiome diversity tend to have longer telomeres. Furthermore, studies have shown that a diet rich in dietary fiber and fermented foods positively affects telomere preservation. Therefore, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is crucial for not only digestive function but also telomere preservation and delayed aging

A healthy diet is the ultimate shield protecting our bodies and the planet. At our three meals a day, we both protect ourselves and make ourselves sick. The modern food industry, in the name of convenience, churns out processed and ultra-processed foods, putting health and safety on the back burner. While terms like "vegan," "clean label," and "zero drinks" may reassure consumers, a closer look reveals a number of problems.
For example, while the vegan diet is considered to have a positive impact on the environment, many plants contain substances that are not harmless. For example, oxalic acid in spinach interferes with calcium absorption and can strain the kidneys. The perception that plant-based foods are necessarily "healthy" may be the result of food companies' marketing tactics . A more serious problem lies beyond our immediate vision. Microplastics and heavy metals infiltrating our marine fish and shellfish and crops on land have become an unavoidable part of our daily lives. The fact that byproducts of plastic packaging and industrial wastewater ultimately find their way into our bloodstream is a harsh price humanity pays for ignoring eco-friendly living.
A child's health begins at the mother's table. During pregnancy, babies cannot feed themselves and rely on their mother for all their nutrition. The mother's diet during this period significantly impacts the baby's brain, organ development, and immune system . While essential nutrients like folic acid, iron, and omega-3s are essential for a baby's growth, excessive consumption of processed foods and sugar can actually negatively impact the baby's future health. It's particularly noteworthy that a mother's eating habits can influence the development of the fetus's gut microbiome , affecting allergies and immunity.
The story continues after birth. The foods a mother consumes are reflected in the composition of her breast milk, directly impacting the baby's growth and development . A nutritious diet supports bone and brain development and strengthens the immune system. Babies breastfed by mothers who eat a variety of foods also experience a wider range of tastes, potentially preventing picky eating. Ultimately, a mother's meal isn't just about filling the stomach for the day; it's the starting point for planning a baby's lifelong health.

Medical food originally referred to special medical foods prescribed by a doctor for the treatment and management of diseases. It has played a crucial role in maximizing therapeutic effects by providing customized nutrition to patients with specific conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease. However, with the advent of an era where the average life expectancy is now 100 years, a new perspective on the role of medical food is emerging. Beyond its traditional role as "patient food," it is expanding its scope to include "health management food for the elderly," promoting disease prevention and a healthy old age.

Medifood, Towards Personalized Nutrition Solutions
The direction the medifood industry should take is clear. While continuing to develop specialized therapeutic diets for patients, we must also broaden the scope of preventative nutrition management for healthy aging. Through this, medifood will establish itself not simply as a "special food" for those suffering from illness, but as an "essential health food" for all those seeking a healthy life. In the era of the 100-year lifespan, medifood will become a crucial companion in enhancing our quality of life. We are preparing
