[QUOTE="Vince, post: 30253, member: 843"] Digestive health is really getting its place in the spotlight these days, with new findings constantly being released on the importance of the bacteria in our guts and how that bacteria impacts other bodily functions and organs (even our brains!). And it’s no secret that [URL="https://www.yahoo.com/health/the-10-healthiest-foods-for-your-gut-115158440518.html"]what you eat[/URL] has a profound impact on the kinds, and health, of bacteria living in the gut. That’s why the U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine is investigating how military food rations called MREs, or “Meals, Ready-to-Eat,” affect gut health — and are recruiting volunteers for a 21-day study. In the study, participants (who must be between ages 18 and 62, and will receive $200 in compensation) will either eat their own normal diet for 31 days, or eat nothing but MREs for 21 days. Over the study period, participants will also have to give blood, urine, and fecal samples. MREs originated during World War II, and includes an entree (like spaghetti or beef stew), a side dish (like mashed potatoes or corn), crackers or bread, some kind of spread (like peanut butter or a cheese spread), dessert (like cookies), candy (like M&Ms) a drink (like coffee or tea or sports-drink-like mixes), and utensils and a flameless ration heater, [URL="http://www.goarmy.com/soldier-life/fitness-and-nutrition/components-of-nutrition/meals-ready-to-eat.html"]according to the U.S. Army[/URL]. Each MRE is meant to provide 1,250 calories, on average, as well as one-third of the Military Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamins and minerals.
