@prino_booktok: Did you know some of the fiber you eat isn’t meant for you? It’s food for your gut microbes. Some fibers resist digestion in your upper digestive tract and make their way to the colon, where certain gut microbes can ferment them and use them as fuel. And here’s the fascinating part: that fermentation can produce short-chain fatty acids, compounds that play important roles in the environment of your gut. Onions, garlic, sunchokes, lentils, oats, slightly green bananas, leeks and kiwi all bring different types of fiber and plant compounds to the table. So when you think about fiber, don’t just think “regularity.” Think feeding your inner ecosystem. Which of these foods do you eat most often? #GutHealth #Fiber #Microbiome #DigestiveHealth #SolidarityWellness
