May Promote Healthy Gut Bacteria

Your gut microbiota, which is made up of bacteria and other germs in your digestive tract, may have a significant impact on your health. Your diet has a significant impact on how your gut microbiota is made up. Eating lingonberries may cause changes in the composition of your gut microbiota that may act as a defense against low-grade inflammation, according to animal research. For 11 weeks, lingonberries were fed to mice on a high-fat diet. This prevented low-grade inflammation and promoted the growth of Akkermansia muciniphila, a type of bacterium that supports the integrity of the gut lining.

Numerous diseases, such as dementia, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and heart disease, are influenced by chronic inflammation. Thus, lingonberries may have anti-inflammatory and gut-health-promoting properties, while human research is still necessary to substantiate these advantages.
