Growing interest in gut health has spawned a field of research that continues to make important discoveries about how previously little-understood microbes shape the well-being of the whole body. It shows how unbalanced diets and other lifestyle habits can damage them and potentially expose us to ill-health and disease.

We asked experts what kind of foods and daily habits people should embrace to improve their gut health and live healthier, happier lives.
