More plants benefit us

Counting up the number of plants you eat in a week might help you have a healthier gut. Studiesfound that eating at least 30 different plants a week helped people diversify their microbiome. And this diversity of good bacteria in the digestive tract can lead to health benefits, like having more energy and even decreasing the risk of obesity, diabetes and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). And the studies found that the number of different types of plant foods eaten including fruits, vegetables and whole grains had a bigger impact than if the person ate a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Of course, how many more plants might you eat if you are only eating foods from plants? How many are you eating each week now? We don't need anything else for food but just the food from plants. This is how I live.
