Do you have a healthy Gut?
A healthy gut contains healthy bacteria and immune cells that ward off infectious agents like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. A healthy gut also communicates with the brain through nerves and hormones, which helps maintain general health and well-being and helps with restful sleep.
So, what does a healthy gut need?
Foods like:
Sweet potatoes, spinach, beets, carrots, and fennel are full of naturally gut-enhancing fiber. Besides fruits and vegetables, whole grains are a rich source of fiber, too. Fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut and kombucha are also prized for their gut-boosting abilities, thanks to the presence of probiotics.
How can I improve my gut health?
Eat more whole grains, nuts, load up on veggies, beans, and fresh fruits.
Eat fermented foods that have beneficial bacteria.
Eat more dark chocolate and foods with polyphenols.
Blend in the spices.
Limit artificial sweeteners.
