    • Dr. Rupy Aujla told Business Insider he follows a high protein, high-fiber, "plant-forward" diet.

The article from MSN discusses how increasing protein intake can simultaneously benefit gut health. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, a gastroenterologist, explains that protein is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and overall health, but it also plays a significant role in gut health. He suggests that incorporating a variety of plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, chickpeas, and nuts can enhance gut health due to their high fiber content, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. These foods not only provide protein but also prebiotics, which are crucial for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. Dr. Bulsiewicz also highlights the importance of diversity in diet to promote a diverse gut flora, which is linked to better health outcomes. He advises against relying solely on animal proteins, as they lack the fiber necessary for optimal gut health, and encourages a balanced approach to protein consumption for overall wellness.
