So Dr. Tim Spector, a British epidemiologist, gut health expert, and cofounder of the science and nutrition company ZOE, has a go-to breakfast combination that he eats every morning that is balanced and gut-healthy.
"I used to have granola with some skim milk, orange juice, and tea, and I thought that was a super healthy breakfast," he said.
But since swapping to a more gut-friendly breakfast, Spector has found that he stays full "right through to lunch," and his energy levels are consistent all morning.
A 2020 review of studies published in the journal Food Frontiers suggested that polyphenols are indeed good for gut health, and also that they help prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.
