Do you see signs of a squeezed rural economy?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Tractor sales have shot up for a second-hand farm machinery dealer.

It's good news for Morrinsville's Steve Elgar but he says farmers look for second-hand gear when times get tougher. However, not all businesses were noticing sales were worse.

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.

Thanks Zestt Wellness - great article.
