Trend foods aren’t miracle cures for your gut
The BBC notes that while the gut microbiome influences digestion, mood, and immunity, popular fixes like chia seed water, sea moss gel, olive oil shots, bone broth, and kombucha offer little proven benefit for healthy people. Evidence is thin and varies by product; the best practical approach is a diverse, plant-rich diet high in fiber and low in ultra-processed foods, with medical advice sought for persistent gut issues. Cautions include potential heavy metals/iodine in sea moss and saturated fat in bone broth.
