Why you should look after your microbiome

Looking after your gut microbiome is essential for overall health, impacting everything from digestion to immune function and even mood. Research highlights the role of gut microbes in producing beneficial compounds like short-chain fatty acids, which support weight control and reduce inflammation. An unhealthy microbiome, often linked to poor diet, may increase risks of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic issues. Simple steps like eating diverse vegetables, incorporating fermented foods, and avoiding ultra-processed options can nurture a healthy microbiome for better well-being.
