00:00What do coffee, vegetables, and a daily walk have in common?
00:03A big new study links all three to healthier gut bacteria.
00:07Researchers led by Tokyo Medical University studied 6,008 on three adults in Japan.
00:12They compared everyday habits with the bacteria living in each person's gut.
00:17The results appear in the journal Nature Medicine.
00:20Vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms were linked to healthier gut bacteria patterns.
00:25So were fermented foods, coffee, and regular physical activity.
00:29Those patterns tracked with more butyrate, a helpful compound, and less inflammation.
00:34On the other side were refined carbs like white rice, bread, and noodles.
00:39Sodas, smoking, and sitting more than nine and a half hours a day joined them.
00:43Those habits were linked to bacteria patterns tied to disease.
00:47The researchers stress this shows a link, not proof of cause.
00:51Plants, coffee, and movement seem to keep good company in the gut.
