👉 Butyrate - WE NEED YOU!
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that is produced by certain gut bacteria when they ferment dietary fibre (prebiotics) ⭐️
We need to eat foods that are rich in these prebiotic fibres so that we promote the growth of butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut.
Such foods include🌿:
Whole grains: Oats, barley, quinoa, and brown rice.
Fruits and vegetables: Especially those that are high in soluble fiber such as apples, bananas, berries, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes and leafy greens.
Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are all excellent sources of dietary fibre.
Nuts and seeds: Almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are all high in fibre.
Fermented foods: Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and yoghurt are all sources of probiotics, which can help promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria that produce butyrate.
Resistant starch: This type of starch is resistant to digestion and can be found in foods such as green bananas, uncooked oats and cooked and cooled potatoes.
Other short chain fatty acids that are important for our gut health (and are also stimulated through good prebiotic-rich diet) include propionate and acetate.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Tenants trash home, spray graffiti inside and outside
A Hamilton landlord has been awarded thousands of dollars after tenants left a rental property riddled with graffiti, damage and piles of abandoned furniture, then failed to show up to their own Tenancy Tribunal hearing.
The Tenancy Tribunal has ordered two former tenants of the Inverness Ave property to pay $2,585.83 after their bond was applied to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, rubbish removal, lock changes and repairs.
