Eat These 5 Foods! | Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

What would be for that first one? What would be the top five foods that everyone should eat daily to optimize their gut microbiome? Okay, I can give you a top five, but can I start with this essential rule? Yes. Which is diversity of plants. All right. So eating as much variety of different plants in our diet, we have to be intentional about this if this is what we want, because the problem is the food system is not going to do that for us. You go into the supermarket, they've distilled it down to 75% of the calories in our supermarket is three foods. What are those three fruits? Wheat, corn and soy. That is 75% of the calories in the supermarket. Now granted, most of those are ultra processed. So I'm here to advocate for real food. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts and legumes. That's at least five. We could add mushrooms. Those are broad categories and we can get more specific if we want to. But to me, it's about getting that variety. And this is not just an idea or a concept. This is actually scientifically proven.
