Comment on YSK about Psyllium husk

Humans evolved consuming a high fiber diet, but the standard American diet of highly processed foods has little fiber. Fiber is extremely beneficial, and feeds the gut microbiome, with which we have a symbiotic relationship and which helps us make things like serotonin. Consuming a whole foods diet, boosting fiber intake with things like psyllium husk and inulin, and regularly consuming fermented foods will help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Microbiome disbiosis is one of the hallmarks of aging, and can have a huge negative impact on your health.
