Kissing Children and Gut Health: A Tom Brady Story

   

This might be a crazy theory, but it kind of makes sense. Tom Brady as we all know is one of the greatest QBs of all time and has had the most successful career of any football player ever, I will not contest that nor will I address it again but..... how the hell is he still playing football? He has literally been in the league and had so much success that he could be inducted into the Hall of Fame from a careers in two separate decades, let alone whatever is coming out of a third. No person no matter how well they take care of their bodies or how fit they are should be able to sustain a career in the NFL that long. So the question becomes.....how? 

    The first possibility could be Brady's lifestyle changes throughout the years and how he created the TB12 method of hating what you eat everyday. Really Tom, no strawberries? But that answer seems too simple and unlikely, given how so many players have created their own fad diets only to still burn out when god intended them to. The second possibility could be how Brady has changed his own playstyle through the years to reduce injury and stress on his body. But, as I said, many have tried before Tom and had to succumb to father time when the time was right. 

    So how does Tom do it? The answer is Gut Health. Not to get too in depth with how it works but the gut is full of bacteria called microbiome that help break down the food in your body. There are basically two types of microbiome basically, good & bad. When the good microbiome outnumbers the bad it creates a state of equilibrium in your body that is beneficial for your stomach, intestine, heart, liver, brain, etc. This means that the more good you have the healthier and "younger" you will feel and the opposite goes for the bad. 

    It's scientifically proven that children have more good microbiome and better gut health than adults (you can see where I'm going with this). There is also a procedure where a doctor can take a sample of a healthy microbiome (poop milkshake) and transfer it to a person with an unhealthy microbiome (insert it up the butt). Where am I going with this? There is a good chance that microbiome also live inside your the mouth as it is technically connected to the stomach. So when Tom Brady kisses his kids (probably ten or more times per day) they are transferring him their good microbiome thus, keeping him in TB12 shape forever. Or at least until they all grow up and he runs out of his supply. 

Recap: Tom Brady + Kissing Kids = Healthy Gut
