SUMMARY

The article from Huberman Lab highlights six strategies to improve gut microbiome diversity, crucial for overall health and brain function. These include consuming fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi to introduce beneficial bacteria, increasing dietary fiber through fruits and vegetables to promote healthy gut bacteria, and limiting processed foods that harm gut health. It also recommends managing stress with techniques like meditation, ensuring 7-8 hours of quality sleep to support the gut-brain connection, and engaging in regular exercise to enhance microbiota composition. A diverse microbiome supports immune function and impacts mood and cognition via the gut-brain axis. Implementing these evidence-based lifestyle changes can bolster cognitive resilience and overall brain health.
