👏🏼👏🏼Takeaways:
1.) Smaller portions & low density foods matter. Protein? Not so much.
2.) Added sugars & processed grains matter for weight, HbA1c. To me jury still out on keto vs Mediterranean
3.) Ultra-processed foods, even matched for nutrients, drive intake & weight. #ADA2023

Exercise is the new probiotic. Aerobic exercise may be one of the most effective ways to promote gut health and help heal intestinal issues.
Aerobic exercise increases butyrate-producing gut bacteria independent of diet. This reduces inflammation & promotes intestinal healing.
