Did you know what our 'Gut Bacteria' eat?

It is Plant-Based Fibre.

And now we know it looks like different types of gut bacteria have their own "preferred food" = "preferred type of fibre".

Do you know what this mean?

To have a good balanced gut bacteria, we need to eat different types of fibres such as

• Inulin

• Pectin

• Fructooligosaccharides

• Galactooligosaccharides

• Resistant starch , and more.

Rather than going too deep here, what we would like to aim is TO EAT 40 DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANT-BASED FOODS so that we can evenly feed different types of bacteria.

Sounds difficult? Well, not really because when you count, all you need a teaspoon amount (approx. 30g) :)

In this recipe, it provides 15 different plant based foods!!
