Foods which are good for Gut Health

Gut health is important when it comes to digestive and immune health. Here are some foods that are good for gut health:

• Kombucha — Made from the fermentation of naturally occurring sugar in tea and packed with probiotics.

• Yogurt — Yogurt is full of gut-healthy cultures, including S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium. 

• Sauerkraut —It contains Lactobacillus bacteria, which combats bad gut bacteria and helps balance our microbiome.

• Kefir — Kefir is like yogurt but in liquid form. Kefir usually contains more active strains of bacteria than yogurt.

• Kimchi — It is rich in probiotics and great for digestive health.

• Kvass — Kvass is a probiotic-rich beverage, but since it is based on rye bread, it is not good for people with gluten allergies or intolerances.

• Miso — Miso is made from soybeans, sea salt and koji, which are typically fermented along with a grain like rice or barely to produce a probiotic-rich, gut-friendly food but is not suitable for people with gluten intolerances.

• Prebiotics — It can be found in high fiber foods and other foods, like garlic and can help nourish the healthy bacteria in our gut.

• High Fiber Foods — Foods high in fiber are essential to keep everything moving through our digestive tract efficiently. Foods high in fiber include black beans, lima beans, green peas, almonds, apples, raspberries and artichokes.
