In their quest to be healthy, some people might inadvertently be giving up foods that are actually beneficial for their health. If you’ve banned coffee or tea from your diet because of their caffeine content, or you’ve given wine the boot because it contains alcohol, you might want to rethink your decision, after hearing about a new Dutch study that was published in the journal Science.
The study is part of the LifeLines program, which was put in place to keep track of the health of 165,000 people who live in the northern Netherlands. In order to reach their conclusions, the researchers assessed the questionnaires of 1,100 participants regarding their diets, medications and overall health, and also analyzed gut bacteria taken from frozen stool samples.
The researchers found that drinking a glass of wine or a cup of tea or coffee can help people maintain their levels of “good” bacteria. Moreover, the gut bacteria of those who eat yogurt regularly displayed a greater diversity. Eating high-calorie diets, on the other hand, can adversely affect this diversity.
