30 Plants a Week: The Simplest Upgrade for Your Health
Your gut loves a mix of prebiotic foods (the fibres that feed good bacteria) and probiotic foods (the live bacteria themselves). Together, they support digestion, immunity, mood and overall wellbeing — less bloating, better energy and a happier gut. Start small by adding more plant foods like garlic, oats and bananas, and gentle ferments like yoghurt or sauerkraut, and let consistency (not perfection) do the work.
Meet Your Microbiome: The Helpers, the Builders & the Clean-Up Crew
Prebiotics are the fibres that feed your good gut bacteria, probiotics are the live beneficial microbes themselves, and postbiotics are the helpful compounds those microbes produce once they’re well-fed. Together, they support digestion, immune function, gut lining integrity and inflammation balance. Antibiotics, while sometimes essential, can disrupt this ecosystem by reducing both good and bad bacteria, which is why supporting the gut with prebiotic- and probiotic-rich foods before and after antibiotics can help restore balance.
