Feed our gut microbiomes healthy and they will keep us healthy

“We’ve evolved to depend on nutrients that our microbiomes produce for us,…But with recent shifts in diet away from fiber-rich foods, we’ve stopped feeding our microbes what they need.” …When your gut bugs eat a high-fiber diet, they make more short-chain fatty acids (butyrate), which protect you from gut diseases, colorectal cancer, and even obesity. Butyrate has been shown to increase the gut’s resistance to infections, reduce inflammation, and create happier, healthier intestinal lining cells. …[fermentable] fiber-rich food, beans, leafy greens, and citrus,.. [give us] very healthy microbiomes.
