A diverse gut equals a healthy gut.
Schleiger adds that a diverse plant-based diet can promote better digestion and thriving gut health by:Combating inflammation“To optimize gut health, it's essential to consume a wide variety of plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds,” Schleiger shares. If you’re up for the challenge to eat 30 different plants in a week, a bit of planning and creativity will go a long way.
The best hack I’ve found in my own quest to eat 30 plants per week is buying mixed green blends instead of relying on my go-to purple kale. I counted no less than 16 different types of greens in my last batch, which got me past the halfway point of my goal in a single serving.Packing your smoothies—and switching up the ingredients when it’s time for your next grocery haul—is another one of the easiest ways to enjoy tons of diverse plants in one go.
, and dill can enhance the taste and nutritional profile of your meals,” says Schleiger. All the while, they’ll count towards the 30-plant quota.By expanding your palate with various plants across culinary heritages, you’ll reap greater gut diversity and nutrient intake while enjoying a variety of delightful aromas and tastes. “Different ethnic cuisines often incorporate a variety of plant-based ingredients and flavors,” Schleiger explains.
“It's important to approach the goal of incorporating 30 different plants into your diet each week with a flexible mindset. Try not to feel overwhelmed by the number. Instead, focus on gradually increasing the diversity of plants in your meals and enjoying the process of discovering new flavors and ingredients.”
After all, eating more plant-based fare than usual will always be beneficial no matter what the actual count is. “Embrace a holistic approach to wellness and focus on long-term habits rather than fixating on a specific quota,” Schleiger concludes. When it comes to your diet, its “overall quality and consistency will have the greatest impact on your gut health and well-being.”Sign up today to have the latest well-being news and expert-approved tips delivered straight to your inbox.
