Probiotics and fibre are good for your gut
The bacteria in your gut, collectively called the gut microbiota, are incredibly important for all sorts of health-related aspects. A disruption in these “gut bugs” is linked to some of the world’s most serious chronic diseases, including obesity. A good way to improve gut health is to eat probiotic foods (like live yoghurt), take probiotic supplements, and eat plenty of fibre, which functions as fuel for the gut bacteria.
