1. Eat Organic - Conventionally grown food is sprayed with many pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, They have the same effect on your own microbes as they do on the plants! Organically grown produce has a whole host of flora that is beneficial to you and the planet. Better still, grow your own and eat foraged food.
2. Eat a diverse range of fruits and veges - for many reasons! but one is that the more diverse your diet, the more diverse your gut bacteria will be. A healthy Microbiome needs to have huge amounts but also a wide range of types of microbes as well.
