Happy gut, happy life! Taking care of your digestive system through a balanced diet and gut-friendly foods can lead to a happier, healthier you. 🦠 Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, also known as your gut microbiome, and what you eat can either promote or harm the diversity of these bacteria. πŸ’‘ FUN FACT: There is about one tiny microbe in the gut for every single human cell in the rest of the entire body. Until recently, we thought our gut microbes outnumbered our human cells significantly, however new research published in PLOS Biology updated these numbers and determined that they’re both about equal. Yes, everyone is half microbe! Gut microbes and what we feed them have been found to impact inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and mood. This is why a healthy gut microbiome is so important!πŸ‘ The reasons behind the many health impacts of the gut microbiome is because of the many roles it plays. For example, some microbes break down fiber or toxins, others make Vitamin K or short-chain fatty acids, while others train your immune system or help reduce inflammation. You can see why the health of the gut microbiome is so significant for the rest of the body. πŸ’ͺ So, what are some foods you can eat to promote a healthy gut? Let's dive in!
