The microbiota is the set of microorganisms that inhabit, among other places, the intestines. It is an active area of research and there is no universal diet to “repair” it.
Sensible Habits
- Eat a wide variety of vegetable foods.
- Include legume fiber, fruit, vegetables, and whole grains according to your tolerance.
- Avoid unnecessary restrictions that greatly reduce diversity.
- Take care of your sleep, physical activity, and general health.
Probiotics and Fermented Foods
Not all fermented foods contain live microorganisms and the effects depend on specific strains and doses. A supplement does not replace a varied diet; consult if you have an illness or immunosuppression.
