From eating more fibre to drinking a bit of red wine, Dr James Kinross shares the simple lifestyle changes that can help protect your gut
“I believe that gut health is dependent on having a diverse and rich ecosystem,” says Dr Kinross. “So when you’re socialising and interacting with others, you’re sharing bugs, especially if you’re making your own food together. That’s a good way of improving gut microbial diversity and richness, which will help your gut stay healthy.”“There are lots of confusing pieces of dietary advice for people as to what to eat,” says Dr Kinross.
For breakfast, he has high-fibre bran flakes, sometimes supplemented with inulin, a prebiotic fibre. He has that with fruit. “We have overwhelming epidemiological and experimental evidence that says if you can increase your fibre, your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer, will all go down and you will be healthier.”Do eat fermented food every day
Polyphenols are a naturally occurring antioxidant that helps produce good bacteria in the stomach. It also helps reduce inflammation in the gut. This magic chemical can be found in blueberries and vegetables such as aubergine, tomatoes, white potatoes and peppers. “It occurs in a lot of nightshade vegetables, so we have a lot of that,” he says.
