Truth About Fiber Preferences
Truth About Fiber Preferences
Some bacteria love oats. Others prefer garlic. Like us, your gut microbes have favorite foods — and they thrive on variety.
Different types of fiber feed different strains of beneficial bacteria. Soluble fibers (like those in oats and apples) and insoluble fibers (found in whole grains and vegetables) each play a unique role in shaping your microbiome.
By eating a diverse mix of fiber-rich foods, you help create a more balanced, resilient gut ecosystem. The more variety, the better.
Tip of the day: Add at least two types of fiber to your meals today — think leafy greens + lentils, or oats + garlic. Variety matters.
See you tomorrow for your next tip!
