Study correlates better sleep with eating higher amount of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Sounds like it correlates it with getting enough fiber. Is this yet another gut biome thing? Shut up down there! I’m trying to sleep!
This is what I found when I started eating either lentils, beans, or chickpeas, in the daily. At first you’re like what is happening to me and then you’re like oh this is actually normal and good.
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.

I sure hope so. I’m on a “5 cans of beans a day” diet currently. It really help when I’m biking with all that tail wind.
How is anyone in your neighborhood sleeping?!
Or is it potent enough to knock everyone out before the strangled screams can be heard?
The surprising thing is that it’s not too bad because my gut biome has gotten used to it. Maybe a handful of farts a day?
If you can hold them in the hand for measurements, they sound a bit too solid lol

Reading your comment in my head using the Disco Elysium narrator’s voice. 😌

It’s a being a biological herbivore thing.
