How should carbohydrates be managed for optimal gut health and digestion?

For optimal gut health, manage carbohydrates by focusing on high-fiber, complex carbs such as whole grains, legumes, and vegetables that promote healthy digestion and support a diverse gut microbiome. Avoid excessive consumption of refined carbs and sugars that can lead to gut dysbiosis and inflammation. Include prebiotic foods that support beneficial gut bacteria and monitor individual responses to adjust carb intake accordingly.
