Promote healthy gut

According to studies, having a healthy gut and general health is more likely if your gut is home to a variety of bacteria and other microorganisms that support good health (your gut microbiota). Your risk of obesity, heart disease, and cancer can increase due to an unbalanced microbiota, which can also lead to inflammation and illness in other parts of the body.

Your microbiota's composition can be dramatically influenced by what you consume. One method to promote the health of your microbiota and intestines is by eating walnuts. 194 healthy people who consumed 1.5 ounces (43 grams) of walnuts daily for eight weeks had more good bacteria than those who did not consume walnuts at that time. This includes a rise in the bacteria that create butyrate, a lipid that nourishes and improves the health of your gut.
