Dr. Travis Stork joins Dr. David Friedman to share tips on how to maintain healthy bacteria in the gut while increasing your fiber intake, which is responsible for a large component of one’s gut bacteria.
- Instead of meat, use beans and lentils for increased fiber.
- Eat high fiber fruits and vegetables like raspberries, blackberries, green peas, artichokes.
- Pick a high-fiber cereal for the breakfast.
- Try and incorporate flaxseeds into meals.
He stresses that this approach is not so much about eating less, but about eating right.
