Benefits for the intestines: Strengthen your intestinal health with these 5 foods

One of the most important things you can do for your overall well-being 🦋 is to ensure your gut is healthy. Taking care of your digestive system by eating plenty of gut-friendly foods 🥗 will strengthen your gut health and help keep your gut working efficiently, as well as the rest of your body.

A good and balanced gut microbiome 💪🏽 is essential for digestion, the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste products, which in turn counteracts digestive disorders such as flatulence 💨 or constipation.

👉 Here are the best foods to include in your diet to keep your gut functioning optimally.

1. SAUERKRAUT

Sauerkraut is, quite simply, fermented cabbage 🥬 . Fermented foods are a great way to promote the growth 🚀 of good gut bacteria. Cabbage's high fiber content also helps with conditions like bloating and indigestion. Other fermented foods you should definitely try include pickles 🥒 , kefir, and kimchi.

2. GARLIC

Raw garlic 🧄 is an excellent prebiotic food with a high content of inulin, which boosts the good bacteria in our gut. Research has shown that garlic increases the good bifidobacteria in our gut, which may help prevent some gastrointestinal diseases and digestive issues.

Garlic also contains allicin, a powerful disease-fighting compound 🔥 that is produced when garlic is crushed or chopped.

3. DARK LEAFY VEGETABLES

Cabbage and cauliflower and dark leafy greens 💚 like spinach and kale are rich in fiber, nutrients and antioxidants.

They're also an excellent source of prebiotics, which are the food for probiotics (healthy gut bacteria). They also help compact stools, making bowel movements easier.

4. Chlorophyll water

Drinking chlorophyll water helps detoxify and rid the body of these toxins, as well as providing other wellness benefits. Chlorophyllin is the water-soluble version of chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color 🌿 .

So greens really are—literally—good for us! 💚

Drinking chlorophyll water helps maintain healthy red blood cell levels and maximizes lung function. Recommended dosage: 15-20 drops in water 💧 twice daily. If you're very sensitive to the taste, simply add a squeeze of lemon 🍋 to soften the flavor.

5. TAKING PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS

When it comes to gut cleansing, it's also important to focus on gut health. Strengthening your gut is the best way to ensure it functions smoothly and efficiently. Taking prebiotics and probiotics daily through our GUT GOODNESS supplement helps your gut bacteria thrive , which helps with indigestion, bloating, bloating, and more.
