INTRODUCTION "You are what you eat." Science is discovering the depth of the truth of this phrase. Our gut microbiome - trillions of bacteria - work invisibly to digest and ingest the food we eat to produce thousands of important molecules and compounds that help our bodies function well. Food is no longer just fuel, but also the great gentle medicine that keeps our inner machinery in top form. Bon appetite, eat to your good health!

OUR MICROBIOME HEALTH Our microbiome health is a critical factor in our lifespan and 'healthspan', helping us to: THINK WELL The gut-brain axis is an important pillar of neurological wellbeing, affecting our brain health and mood.

LIVE WELL 60% of immune cells lie in our gut and have a close, complex relationship with gut microbes, which influences our immune system.

FEEL WELL Gut microbes help modulate digestion and metabolism, influencing metabolic conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. The information in this playbook highlights the nutritional value of many of the plant-based ingredients used for tonight's dinner.

The Microbiota Vault is a Vault for humanity - an initiative to forever secure the naturally evolved diversity of microbiota important to humankind for global health. Microbial diversity is globally threatened by urbanization and environmental change proceeding at an unprecedented pace. Similar to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the Microbiota Vault sets out to preserve the biodiversity of human-associated microbiota, while still possible, by having an institution for the safe storage and preservation of microbiota collections. The Microbiota Vault works closely with local partners, such as the National University of Singapore, all over the world.

CHEF'S PHILOSOPHY

"We are embodiments of what we eat. A raw food diet has nourished mankind for most of our existence. Our bodies are well tuned to receive nutrients in their purest form from raw food. Retention of nutrients is high as there is no destruction due to heat or processing. Raw food preparations include activating, sprouting, dehydrating, blending, juicing, and fermenting in place of heat-based cooking and other types of food processing. These techniques can make a variety of tasteful and healthful dishes. A rule of thumb for good nutrition is “Eat a rainbow every day”, with different colours representing different nutrients." - Jose Varkey, Corporate Mentor Chef CGH Earth Group of Hotels, India -

WellSpent™ is created by At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy for our Environment Social Governance (ESG) Sustainability with No Waste initiatives, using food ingredients normally discarded during food production.
