He added: "We know, and this is from human research, that if you eat even one kiwi a day and you measure your gut bacteria from your poop, just eating one kiwi a day will, overnight, improve your gut microbiome."

The NHS has also shed light on certain foods that can boost gut health, highlighting a variety of fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the NHS suggests that wholemeal bread, brown rice, beans, and oats can have a beneficial impact on your stomach’s microbiome.
Emphasizing the role of fibre, the guidance notes: "It’s a good idea to try to eat more fibre or roughage, as most people in the UK do not get enough. A diet rich in fibre can help digestion and prevent constipation. Aim for the recommended dietary intake of 30g of fiber a day."
