How many different plant foods have you eaten this week? 🌱
Not just vegetables.. I mean everything that comes from plants:
Fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices 🫛🥦🍓🌾🥜🌿
Research shows that people who eat 30 or more different plant foods per week tend to have a more diverse gut microbiome, meaning a wider variety of beneficial bacteria living in their gut.🦠
Why does this matter?
Because your gut bacteria don’t just affect digestion.
They influence your:
• Immune system
• Inflammation levels
• Nervous system
• Energy production
• Hormones
• Even pain sensitivity
When diversity is low, we often see more gut symptoms, more inflammation and more chronic health issues.
This is especially important if you're living with:
✅ Digestive conditions
✅ Autoimmunity
✅ Chronic pain (including fibromyalgia)
✅ Fatigue syndromes like ME/CFS & Long COVID
More variety = more nourishment for your gut bacteria = better whole-body support.
