Join us today on Lay terms as we explore the fascinating world of microbiome science and its transformative role in nutrition in a short byte. Today, we'll uncover how modern dietary guidelines emphasize whole-plant foods, rich in fibres that nourish beneficial gut bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids crucial for gut health and metabolism. We'll also look at the challenges posed by ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and the potential of probiotics and ancestral diets to restore gut health. Tune in as we rethink the link between what we eat, our microbiome, and overall health!
This episode is a short summary in lay terms of the review article | Armet, A. M. et al. Rethinking healthy eating in light of the gut microbiome. Cell Host Microbe 30, 764–785 (2022).
