Gut health is extremely important for our overall health, but due to our lifestyles, it can get neglected. Don’t fret — here are gut-healing foods to try!
While taking a probiotic supplement is a good way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, eating gut-healing foods rich in natural probiotics is key to keeping the good bugs flourishing.
This Japanese paste is most often found in soup, but it can actually be used in a lot of creative ways in the kitchen. It’s a natural probiotic, made of fermented soybeans, and is also high in calcium, magnesium, iron, and protein.
This naturally fizzy drink is also full of healthy gut microbiomes. Kombucha is fermented green tea that can be found at virtually any grocery store these days, but it’s also easier than you might think to make at home. Aside from all the probiotics, kombucha is high in vitamins, essential minerals, and organic acids.
Found in most Korean dishes, kimchi is a fermented food, rich in healthy bacteria, that helps to heal your gut. Not only does it aid in digestion, but it’s also super tasty!
