1 Eat "Five-a-day" (at least)

A good daily intake of a variety of different vegetables will help to keep your gut microbiome healthy. If the trillions of different bacteria in your gut are happy, they produce chemicals (called "postbiotics"), which scientists are increasingly discovering can be very beneficial for many aspects of mental and physical health.
