Growing research has found a direct correlation between the trillions of bacteria in your digestive tract and almost every aspect of the human body, from our end-of-summer immunity and day-to-day mental wellbeing to preventing long-term chronic illness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news if you\u2019re yet to jump on the gut health bandwagon? Studies suggest that our microbiome doesn\u2019t exist in a fixed state, and that it\u2019s highly adaptable to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, we asked Clementine Vaughan, leading dietician at <\/span>Third Sister,<\/span><\/a> to break down the best evidence-backed strategies to positively shift your gut flora and feel more balanced.<\/span><\/p>\n

How quickly can you change your gut bacteria?<\/h2>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s research to suggest that your gut health can change surprisingly quickly, sometimes in as little as a day,\u201d explains Vaughan. \u201cA good example is taking a course of antibiotics to treat an infection – this can effectively wipe out much of your gut microbiome overnight,\u201d she notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to improving and supporting the microbiome, benefits can take a little longer to show and require a level of commitment, as studies have found that gut microbes can return to their original make-up if you\u2019re not consistent with good habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLong-term change comes first and foremost from your diet,\u201d says Vaughan, \u201cas your microbiome is a bit like a rainforest; it isn\u2019t a simple case of eating one food and expecting one specific strain of bacteria to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, what you eat can influence many different strains at once, which in turn interact with others, helping some to thrive and others to be suppressed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way, your gut is a constantly evolving ecosystem, and one that needs continual nourishment to keep it in harmony. \u201cA good analogy is that it\u2019s like looking after a sourdough starter – you can\u2019t just feed it once and expect it to last forever. You have to care for it regularly,\u201d Vaughan adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vaughan\u2019s golden rules for improving your gut health<\/h1>\n

\"inForm-A-Dieticians-Guide-to-Changing-Your-Gut-Microbiota-copy-image-1\"<\/p>\n

Opt for 30 grams of fibre per day<\/h2>\n

The most effective way to change the environment in your gut doesn\u2019t lie in punishing detoxes or liquid diets, but in simply upping your intake of plant-based foods which are rich in dietary fibre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only does a diet full of fibre aid digestion, but it serves as \u2018good\u2019 food for gut bacteria. Despite this, it\u2019s a real point of deficit for many people, with more than 90% of adults not eating enough according to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe recommended daily fibre intake for adults is 30 grams, which is a lot higher than many people expect,\u201d says Vaughan. \u201cIn practice, that can be a tall order to reach, particularly if you\u2019re not already in the habit of eating fibre-rich foods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for easy ways to up your roughage, Vaughan suggests throwing a spoonful of flaxseeds and chia seeds into your breakfast cereal or yoghurt. \u201cYou can even stir them into guacamole or scatter them over a salad,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s these add-ons that can really make a difference.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulk out your meals with beans<\/h2>\n

Beans are considered a superfood because they\u2019re one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. Packed with both soluble and insoluble fibre, they support digestion and can keep you feeling fuller for longer. Some of the most fibre-rich options include lentils, chickpeas, black beans and kidney beans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNext time you\u2019re having a salad, throw in some canned varieties,” says Vaughan. \u201cThey\u2019re cheap, easy to store and incredibly versatile. You can stir them into stews, soups or pasta dishes, and they really pack a punch when it comes to boosting your fibre intake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"inForm-A-Dieticians-Guide-to-Changing-Your-Gut-Microbiota-copy-image-2\"<\/p>\n

Know your high-fibre plants<\/h2>\n

But it\u2019s also worth knowing that not all plant foods are made equal, and some are less fibrous than others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTake lettuce for example – people often think it\u2019s fibre-rich, but really it\u2019s mostly water, at least in the quantities we tend to eat,\u201d warns Vaughan. \u201cIt\u2019s still great to have, but if you\u2019re looking to hit that 30-gram target, you\u2019ll want to prioritise higher fibre-dense foods such as lentils, chickpeas and avocados.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eat the rainbow<\/h2>\n

Studies still suggest<\/span><\/a> that eating the oft-quoted five portions of fruit and vegetables a day can have a positive impact on your gut health.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, when it comes to your microbiome, there\u2019s a new school of thinking that it\u2019s not just the amount of plants we pack into our meals, but the variety we get too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aiming to eat 30 different plants a week can boost the diversity and health of your gut bacteria, although Vaughan stresses that this target might not be achievable for everyone overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re currently averaging around ten plant varieties a week, try nudging it up by adding one or two extra plants to your shopping trolley, and gradually increasing the number over time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Go slowly<\/h2>\n

Finally, adding fibre<\/span>\u00a0to your diet slowly over a few weeks allows the natural bacteria in your digestive system to adjust to the change. Throw too much into the mix, too soon, and you could be struck with an uncomfortable bout of bloating and gas.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you\u2019ve calculated you\u2019re not getting enough fibre and it’s something you’re wanting to up, my advice would be to take it slowly,\u201d says Vaughan. She recommends focusing on adding an extra few grams to your diet per day, using a tracker like MyFitnessPal to keep track of your count.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKeep slowly nudging up your intake over several weeks and don’t go too quickly, because you might worry that it\u2019s making you feel worse, and then you’ll be more likely to revert back to your previous dietary habits.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
