64% Informative

Fruits provide fiber for a healthy and diverse microbiome.

Exercise also improves your gut microbes.

A healthy microbiome may help prevent cognitive impairment.

Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries are the best fruit for gut microbes, and passion fruit has 24 grams of fiber per cup.

Exercise increases abundance of Veillonella , a bacterium that consumes lactate generated by exertions and converts it into propionate as well.

This study will need to be replicated, but it’s some rare good news on the Alzheimer's front.

Sadly, for the exercise-averse, it's not great news for those who think exercise is awful.
