Your gut microbiome is home to trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live in your intestines. These bacteria affect your digestion, immune system, and skin health. Now, when you consume junk foods that are high in sugar and fat, you can stress your microbiome, leading to poor digestion, immunity, skin quality, etc. Along with food minor, drinking alcohol can have similar effects.
On the other hand, eating foods rich in bacteria can boost your gut health. Experts recommend consuming foods high in beneficial bacteria, such as kombucha, live yogurt, tempeh, kimchi, and kefir. The expert added that foods high in antioxidant compounds, such as cocoa, pomegranates, berries, almonds and spinach, may also benefit your microbiome and overall longevity.
