🦠 Your Gut Bacteria Are Your Best Friends

Your body does not digest fiber on its own. Your gut bacteria do it for you!
Here is how the process works:
- You eat fiber-rich foods like berries, beans, and avocados (these are called prebiotics)
- The good bacteria in your gut, called your microbiome, break them down
- The bacteria produce helpful compounds called postbiotics, including vitamins B and D
The Kaiseki eating order from Japan is a game-changer:
- Start with high-fiber foods
- Follow with protein
- Finish with simple carbs
This order prepares your gut and helps your body absorb way more nutrients from your meal.
