If you’ve ever heard of Metamucil, that’s just psyllium husk in a powder form and it’s not just for old people. Adding some of this to your daily routine has a ton of benefits. I tried to write a few sentences explaining the benefits but they all turn out like shit.

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.

    Came here to mention inulin as a great fiber supplement in addition to psyllium husk. Fixing my gut changed my life, the direct impacts for me on mood, well-being, inflammation, and overall health cannot be overstated.

    Does inulin give you bad bloating and flatulence or is it only me? Half a teaspoon will do that to me. Although, the benefits of improved movement outweigh the negatives.

    True, but scroll through my comment history. I am a nerd, and I'm a bit formal in my wording (I'm an attorney), but if AI can engage like this I think we're all in trouble.

    This would make a lot of sense because they're likely trained on a lot of professional publications and they tend to use proper grammar.

    We're in trouble regardless. The bubble seems about to pop but the models are still seemingly making improvements.

    Where are we on the Gartner hype cycle?

    I'm sorry, but this does not compute....

    Edit: Huge missed opportunity here. I should have come back with "I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that."
