Remember, your gut microbes have food preferences too! And if you want them to STAY in your gut, you’ll want to take that into consideration.
Here are a few things you can start doing now!
1. Polyphenol-Rich Foods: Foods like berries, green tea, and dark chocolate are loaded with polyphenols, which act as fuel for Akkermansia. These compounds support the growth of this beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing your gut lining and overall health.
2. Consistent High-Fiber Diet: Fiber from vegetables, whole grains, and legumes provides Akkermansia with the nutrients it needs to thrive. By consistently feeding this bacteria, you help strengthen your gut barrier and improve digestion.
3. Fermented Foods: Foods like kimchi, kefir, and sauerkraut introduce beneficial bacteria into your gut. This supports a healthy environment for Akkermansia to flourish, promoting a balanced and diverse microbiome.
