GREENS
Honestly, what can’t green veggies do?? Not only are they amazing for healthy hair, they’re also essential for a healthy digestive system. Leafy greens are pretty much sugar and starch-free, low in carbohydrates and high in fibre, making them super-easy for the body to break down. One of the best is asparagus, which helps keep you regular, reduces bloating and has high levels of chlorophyll, which decreases inflammation. Grilling asparagus is our favourite way to eat it – serve with lots of other veggies, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. YUM!
FERMENTED FOODS
Your gut is made up of millions of bacteria – both good and bad – that help to digest food. Fermented foods like yoghurt, sauerkraut, kimchi and pickles contain the good ‘live’ type of bacteria essential for a healthy gut. Not all yoghurts are created equal though, so make sure you look out for a brand that is ‘live and cultured’, like Chobani.
SUPERGREEN SUPERFOOD POWDER
Feel like your digestion is a little off, but find it hard to fit in all the different types of gut-lovin’ foods into your diet? Our SUPERGREEN Superfood Powder is here to help. It’s packed full of 40+ ingredients including vitamins, nutrients, prebiotics and probiotics. It’s also full of veggies, fruits and superfoods specifically chosen to aid digestion, such as pineapple, cucumber, alfalfa, ginger, bromelain and papain. Mix one teaspoon into a glass of cold water every morning for more energy and a happy gut!
WHOLEMEAL BREAD
We all know that fibre is good for us, but did you know there are different types? Insoluble fibre is best for gut health and digestion and can be found in wheat bran, vegetables and wholemeal bread. As carb-lovin’ gals, we like knowing that we can have our bread and eat it too – and still keep our gut happy!
