It’s absolutely a gut biome thing. By eating more of the good stuff, there’s less room for the rest: less refined sugar, less animal protein, and less saturated fats. Basically displace all the stuff that we already know isn’t exactly great for us.
It displaces bad food from the diet, but it goes far beyond that. Gut bacteria eats things that we do not. Specifically, dietary fiber is consumed and often converted into products we can digest and which affect our health in significant and surprising ways. Other functions of fiber include the removal of toxins from the body through absorption and elimination, and the mechanical removal of waste from the digestive system through sheer bulk and gentle abrasiveness.
Since the microbes in the gut feed on your gut if you don’t feed them enough, it makes a lot of sense that keeping everything happy means you’re bothered less too.
