The following basics are just recently becoming public knowledge….let’s learn and adjust for healthier living…
Feed the Good Bacteria (Prebiotics)
Eat diverse plant fibers (garlic, onions, oats, flaxseed, green bananas) to boost beneficial strains like Akkermansia and Bifidobacteria.
Cut Refined Sugars & Artificial Sweeteners
High sugar feeds inflammatory bacteria, while artificial sweeteners (like saccharin and sucralose) have been shown to alter gut bacteria in ways that impair glucose tolerance.
Incorporate Fermented Foods
Kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, and kombucha deliver live beneficial cultures directly to the gut.
Reduce Pesticides
As mentioned earlier, switching to organic/regenerative produce minimizes exposure to herbicides like glyphosate, which act as synthetic antibiotics against beneficial gut flora.
