These are the gut-healthy foods: facts you probably didn’t know
The health of the entire body depends on the health of the intestines.
That's why it's so important to keep an eye on this.
What foods are good for gut health
For gut health, it is important to eat foods that contain fiber.
This is a type of carbohydrate found in plant foods. It can be soluble or insoluble.
Soluble fiber forms a gel that serves as food for intestinal bacteria.
Insoluble fiber passes through the intestines undissolved and promotes regular bowel movements.
To get fiber, nutritionists recommend adding foods such as legumes, fruits, vegetables and grains to your diet.
For example, peas, lentils, chickpeas, beans, bran, muesli, bulgur, quinoa, dried fruits.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are also rich in fiber. Especially pumpkin, apples, pears, raspberries, broccoli, artichokes, oranges, grapefruits.
In addition, you can get fiber from seeds and nuts - almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and chia seeds.
Foods rich in probiotics are also extremely beneficial for gut health and normal digestion.
This includes fermented foods - Greek yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso paste.
These foods will support your gut function, immune system and your good mood.
