Soil quality affects gut health and nutrition

A healthy soil would, according to Bio Journaal, play a key role in food quality and gut health. The exact mechanisms are not precisely known, but a connection is seen between soil quality and the nutritional value of the food that comes from it.

Bio Journaal reports that a rich soil with many microorganisms could ensure better absorption of nutrients in plants. This would work its way through the food chain to human gut flora. According to the source, this is one of the reasons why organic food is often seen as healthier.

The connection between soil health and human health is not a new topic, but according to Bio Journaal, much research is still lacking. The exact relationship between the soil, the food and the intestines has not yet been fully mapped. Nevertheless, it is becoming increasingly clear that a healthy soil plays an important role in a nutritious diet.
