Diet heavy in anti-inflammatory foods helps Elena Hughes, a digestive health specialist, keep your gut happy and healthy.
“Gut health goes beyond probiotics,” Elena says. “The right foods can help you feel better generally and lower inflammation.”
1. Tea Made From Turmeric
One rather strong anti-inflammatory spice is turmeric. “I love having a warm turmeric tea first thing in morning,” Elena explains. “Just sprinkle black pepper to increase its absorption.”
2. Foods Fermented
In her everyday meals Elena adds yoghurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi. She counsels, “these are loaded with probiotics that support a good gut microbiome.”
3. Leafy greens and berries.
“My kitchen’s mainstays are spinach, kale, and blueberries,” Elena says. These foods assist to lower intestinal inflammation by being heavy in antioxidants and fibre.
Her last counsel? “Eate deliberately and pay attention to your body. Your belly will say thank you.
