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.
Healthy habits establish the environment; our science-backed formula delivers the microbes and fuels your microbiome. So, start integrating these upgrades today, pair them with Super-Biome Probiotic + Prebiotic and watch your microbiome thrive.
