For Gabrielle Morse, a gut health specialist and registered dietitian at The Gut Health Clinic, that involves buying a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables each week while also keeping her store cupboard stocked with a few staples to make nutritious and tasty meals.
That enables her to hit her goal of eating 30 plants — from beans, nuts, and seeds to spices and dark chocolate — a week without meal planning.
However, Morse, like other gut health experts, says eating 30 different plant foods a week is best for the gut microbiome, the trillions of microbes that live in the digestive system.
Research shows that people who eat a wide range of plants have a more diverse microbiome, which is associated with better gut health.
