What Can You Do to Maintain Your Gut Health?

What Can You Do to Maintain Your Gut Health?

Your intestines are home to upward of 40 trillion bacteria, collectively known as gut microbiota. These bacteria are responsible for a host of important duties, including warding off aggression from other microbes, and maintaining the mucus membrane in your intestines so everything flows through freely. Without them, we’d all be a whole lot sicker.

Keeping gut microbiota healthy is essential for overall health and wellbeing. Here are a few things you can do to keep all those friendly organisms happy.

Diversify Your Diet

Humans are creatures of habit, and if one of yours happens to be eating the same foods day in and day out, you may want to rethink that strategy. There are hundreds of different species of bacteria in your intestines, and they all need different vitamins and nutrients in order to survive. By diversifying your diet and eating foods from a variety of plant and animal sources, you’ll help ensure each and every type of helpful bacteria in your gut has something to munch on.

Of course, if you’re a vegan or vegetarian and you don’t eat meat, you can still diversify your diet with nuts, legumes, and other vegan-friendly options that your gut microbiota will love.

Watch Out for Artificial Sweeteners

A lot has been said about artificial sweeteners, and pretty much all of it has been bad. They’re used to replace sugar in foods to keep the calorie count down, but that’s about all they’re good for. Research has shown that artificial sweeteners can negatively affect your gut microbiota, and that’s really not good.

Eat Fermented Foods

Do you like yogurt? What about kimchi? Fermented foods like these (and sauerkraut, tempeh, and kombucha), are rich in lactobacilli, a type of bacteria that’s been shown to have positive health benefits. For example, people who eat a lot of yogurt have been observed to have higher amounts of lactobacilli and lower amounts of Enterobacteriaceae – a bacterium associated with inflammation and other chronic diseases.
