Research has found that eating 30+ different plant foods a week boosts a more diverse gut microbiome 💚

Support gut health, aim for variety across all six plant groups. Each plant provides unique nutrients, fibres, and phytochemicals that supplements can’t replicate.

Relative importance of abiotic and biotic variables on two community-level (i.e. community-weighed mean [CWM]) plant functional traits: (a) the specific leaf area (SLA), (b) the leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and (c) the leaf thickness (LT).

Climate factors and island area drive leaf economic trait variation by altering plant species richness and soil properties on tropical islands.
