The researchers found that consuming large amounts of diverse plant-based foods leads to healthier gut bacteria, reducing inflammation and boosting immune function.
The microbiome modulates the effect of diet on our health. It basically decides our health status," asserts Nicola Segata, illustrating the critical role of gut microbes.
Vegans have a microbiome rich in bacteria linked to better health, while omnivores risk inflammatory bowel disease unless they focus on plant diversity in their diets.
Good news for omnivores: their gut microbiomes resemble those of vegans when they consume a wide variety of plant-based foods in great amounts.
