Why are some people more susceptible to infections than others?
Studies show it comes down to the gut microbiome—and how much fiber we eat!
1️⃣ Eating more fiber is more effective than probiotics for feeding good bacteria and producing Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs), which protect against harmful microbes.
2️⃣ Forget “starving out” bad bacteria. SCFAs create a gut environment where they can’t thrive.
It’s tempting to rely on pills, but fiber-rich foods are key to a healthier gut.
