A new study indicates strawberries reduce blood vessel inflammation by decreasing harmful Coprobacillus gut bacteria and boosting beneficial Lachnospiraceae

What other foods increase Lachnospiraceae gut bacteria? 🧵 tinyurl.com/4max8s8j

Did you know Lachnospiraceae ferment dietary fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, propionate, and acetate...

SCFAs are beneficial because they support:
1. Gut lining & reduce inflammation
2. Metabolism & insulin sensitivity
3. Healthy cholesterol levels & blood pressure
4. Decrease appetite via BHB-Phe (see previous post)
5. Benefit brain health via the gut-brain axis

To increase Lachnospiraceae eat more:

1. Dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables, whole grains & legumes

2. Polyphenol-rich foods, e.g. strawberries, blueberries, matcha green tea & dark chocolate...

3. Prebiotics e.g. inulin, garlic, onions & asparagus

4. A capful of unfiltered apple cider vinegar

And avoid antibiotic overuse!

Here's the paper:
