Does raw food have a positive impact on the gut microbiome?

Yes, raw food supports a better diversity in the microbiome compared to ultra-processed diets. Fresh food, with raw being the ultimate in low-processed freshness, leads to better diversity and better health outcomes. Raw food's freshness, high nutrient content, and lack of inflammatory components may contribute to a healthier gut environment. Medium-chain triglycerides in raw meats can further promote beneficial gut bacteria.
