Diversity is the key to gut health. Meaning, the more DIFFERENT VARIETIES of plants you include in your diet, the healthier your gut is. The healthier your gut health, the healthier you are.

Your hormonal health is better.
Your sleep is better.
Your immunity is better.
Your weight loss process is better.
Everything is better with better gut health.

But diversity is tricky. For instance,:
- learning new recipes is time consuming.
- making a new decision what to make daily is mentally exhausting
- Shopping in smaller batches is expensive.

So what to do?
Here is my mini- hack:
💫 Diversity in ingredients- Monotony in Process 💫
I go to the kitchen at 10:15 am every morning and make the exact same thing- protein porridge 🥣
I boil the grains, chop and add fruits, add the nuts/ seeds, add the protein bit.
I know exactly how much time it will take me, exactly what I am to do and exactly what I will eat. Thus, lesser mental exhaustion.
But everyday, I choose better:
- Oats/ barley flakes/ ragi flakes
- type of fruits I will put that day
- type of nuts I’ll use that day
- type of protein I’ll use that day (sattu, protein powder, tofu, tempeh)
There is diversity, still monotony. I’d shop my produce in bulk for a few weeks and still introduce diversity daily.
Hope this helps!
