Colon cancer is on the rise among young people – and research points to one major culprit

YOU’VE GOT GUTS. Literally. And they’re ancient.
Your digestive system didn’t just evolve overnight—it was shaped by millions of years of hunting, gathering, cooking, and, yes… probably some questionable mammoth sushi.

From raw roots to roasted meats, our guts have adapted to fuel the human journey. So next time your stomach growls, remember—it’s got ancestral wisdom.

After several waves of #ForeverCoVID. #MAHA

I have been working on my #diet this year; going more whole food, plant-based (not 100% #vegan but close) and watching my portions. Today I'm adding in apple cider #vinegar to my daily routine hoping it takes me to the next level (whatever that is). This is all part of my plan (if one can call it that) of fixing my #gutbiome, losing weight, and aiming for some future endurance activities (long bike rides, mountain climbing, etc.).

Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut (2024)

Delve into the digestive system with this lighthearted and informative documentary that demystifies the role gut health plays in our overall well-being.

Good sources of dietary fibre include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and nuts and seeds. There is a lot of emphasis on soluble fibres and less on insoluble fibres, but in reality, most foods will contain a mixture of both, and they each have their merits. #fibre #gutbiome #immunesystem

Dietary fibre affects more than your colon: How the immune system, brain and overall health benefit too

Fibre isn’t just associated with colon health; it’s associated with overall health and brain health through the gut-brain axis. But not all fibres are created equal.
