How to improve gut health

A balanced gut does far more than aid digestion - it shapes immunity, mood, skin clarity, and day-to-day energy. With Super-Biome supplements now available, this is the perfect moment to adopt (or refresh) your habits. 



1. Prioritise plant-based fiber every day 

Fiber is the microbiome’s favourite food. A varied, high fiber diet creates a diverse community of good bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids that strengthen the gut lining. Aim for 25–30 g per day by mixing: 

  • Fruits: apples, pears, berries, kiwi etc 

  • Vegetables: leafy greens, broccoli, carrots, artichokes etc 

  • Legumes: chickpeas, lentils, black beans etc 

  • Whole Grains: oats, quinoa, brown rice and barley 

Increase the number of plants in your diet gradually, all the while staying hydrated to minimise any temporary bloating. 

 


2. Embrace fermented foods 

Fermented foods deliver live cultures, as well as extra flavour. Add them into meals to introduce natural probiotics. Here are some delicious examples of great fermented foods: 

  • Yogurt or skyr with live cultures 

  • Kefir for a tangy, drinkable option 

  • Kimchi & sauerkraut  perfect on top of salads or grain bowls 

  • Miso & tempeh for savoury depth and added protein 

  • Kombucha as a fizzy, low-sugar soda swap 

Even two or three servings per week can make a big difference to your gut health. 

 


3. Dial back added sugars & ultra-processed foods 

Excess sugar and heavily refined snacks tip the microbiome toward less helpful species and drive inflammation - undermining many supplement benefits. Here are some simple switches you can make to keep your gut happy: 

  • Swap sweetened drinks for sparkling water with fruit 

  • Choose dark chocolate or fruit over candy 

  • Read the labels and avoid snacks with lots of artificial flavors and sweeteners 

 


4. Hydrate like you mean it 

Water keeps digestive contents moving and helps fibre do its job. A well-hydrated gut lining is also more effective at absorbing nutrients. As a general rule, aim for eight cups daily, adjusted for climate and activity 

 


5. Sleep & stress - the often missed duo 

Sleep debt and chronic stress disrupt gut flora, potentially leading to dysbiosis (an imbalance of gut bacteria). You can support the gutbrain axis by: 

  • Establishing a winddown routine: dim lights, limit screens, stretch or read 

  • Practising stress relief rituals: deep breathing, journalling, walking 

  • Aiming for 7 - 9 hours of sleep 

 


6. Prebiotics & synbiotics 

We believe in ingredients that work smarter together. Prebiotics – the fibres that selectively nourish beneficial bacteria – are naturally found in foods like onions, garlic, asparagus, chicory root, and bananas. With Juice Plus+ Super-Biome, we take it a step further by pairing carefully selected probiotics with these complementary prebiotics, creating a powerful synbiotic blend that helps your gut bacteria thrive – and helps you get the most out of every dose.
