According to a gastroenterologist, the magic number of plants to consume each week for optimal gut health is 30. Here's why, plus the reason you may already be consuming more than you realize. 🥕
, Bulsiewicz shares the magic number of plants to consume each week for optimal gut health—find his benchmark below. "When I think about variety [of plants], I go back to the American Gut Project, which is the origin of this concept of [how] dietary diversity translates into a healthier gut microbiome," Bulsiewicz says. See, the American Gut Project conducted a study to understand more about the different kinds of bacteria present in the gut.
"What they discovered is that people who were consuming more than 30 varieties of plants per week had the healthiest gut microbiomes," Bulsiewicz says. He adds,"Each individual plant is feeding different families of microbes, and a variety of microbes within an ecosystem, including the gut ecosystem, is a measure of health. It's a measure of resilience. Variety on our plates translates into variety within our gut microbiomes, and that ends up becoming a win.
And here's the thing—you don't just count the plants you eat as a dedicated snack or a side dish. Rather, you're tallying up every single plant in your diet. For example, if you eat a slice of multigrain bread that has seven different grains in it, you've just added seven plants to your weekly count. The same goes for soups, salads, and smoothies—you can pack these meals with a variety of plants without thinking too much about it. to your daily routine.
