Your diet shapes your gut microbes, which in turn affect your health. What you eat can boost or harm beneficial bacteria, influencing everything from digestion to mood. Understanding this connection helps you make food choices that support a thriving gut ecosystem.
Different diets lead to distinct microbial profiles. Plant-based diets increase diversity, while high-fat diets reduce it. Short-term changes can shift your microbiome quickly, but long-term habits have the most lasting impact. Nutrients like and feed good bacteria.
