Take The Gut Biome Challenge

Building your gut biome includes eating 30 different fruits, nuts, beans, seeds and veggies each week.

Your gut microbiome is the ecosystem of microbes that live in your intestines. Your gut biome helps with digestion, the immune system, metabolism, brain and mood, and inflammation. A healthy gut biome tends to have a high diversity of species, plenty of beneficial bacteria, and a low overgrowth of harmful microbes.

It can be supported by eating fiber-rich foods such as beans, lentils, oats, veggies and berries; prebiotics like garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus and bananas; as well as fermented foods including yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut and miso.

To create a healthy gut biome, it is important to get enough sleep, exercise regularly and manage your stress.

There are many benefits of a healthy gut biome as they play a role in body systems and functions. Asides from the list above, they can also benefit endocrine cells which secrete hormones that regulate aspects of your metabolism, including blood sugar, hunger and satiety.
