Episode notes
30 Plants Weekly Boost Gut Health
- Eating 30 different plant-based foods weekly boosts gut bacteria diversity for better digestion, less inflammation, and stronger immunity.
- This variety includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, herbs, and spices, not just vegetables.
Choose Nutrient-Rich Frozen Vegetables
- Frozen vegetables are healthy, sometimes more nutritious than fresh, because they are picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen.
- Avoid frozen veggies with added sauces and cook by steaming or microwaving to preserve nutrients and texture.
Limit Salt, Ensure Iodine Intake
- Pink Himalayan salt contains trace minerals but offers no proven health benefits over regular salt and lacks iodine.
- Use pink salt if preferred but ensure iodine intake from other foods and limit overall salt consumption for health.
