✅ Asparagus One of the essentials for excellent gastrointestinal tract health is dietary fiber. Half a cup of asparagus comprises 1.8 grams of fiber, making up 7 percent of your daily fiber requirement.
✅ Artichokes Artichokes are also a high fiber source, keeping your gut healthy by reducing the risk of certain bowel cancers and alleviating diarrhea and constipation.
✅ Chia Seeds The fiber content in chia seeds is mainly the soluble form and a compound known as mucilage, which accounts for the gluey texture of moistened chia seeds.
✅ Yogurt Yogurt, traditionally made from animal milk, can help immensely improve gut health, thanks to its probiotic characteristics. You can also opt for plant-based yogurt, which will give you the same benefits.
✅ Beans All varieties of beans, black beans, in particular, are known to enhance gut health by improving intestinal barrier function and increasing the number of beneficial bacteria.
✅ Lentils The highly nutritious, inexpensive lentils are often overlooked when it comes to health benefits. They are packed with prebiotic fiber, which can support regular bowel movements and the growth of good gut bacteria.
✅ Squash Squash varieties like butternut squash contain fermentable fibers, which are great for stimulating the colon’s good bacteria. A single cup of cooked butternut squash consists of 7 grams of fiber, almost one-third of your daily recommended value.
✅ Leafy Greens Unsurprisingly, leafy greens are also one of the top foods for better gut health. These are excellent sources of fiber and many nutrients such as folate and vitamins A, C, and K. Leafy green vegetables contain sugar compounds that help fuel the growth of healthy bacteria in the intestines.
✅ Flaxseeds Flaxseeds are commonly consumed to relieve constipation or boost general digestive health. They are often considered a probiotic food thanks to their high fiber content which provides nutrition to the gut's microbiome, linking to boost immunity, alleviate mood, digestion, and weight loss.
✅ Miso Miso is derived from fermented soya beans and is composed of numerous good bacteria and enzymes. There is limited research on the effects of miso on the gut.
✅ Sauerkraut A study published in the journal Global Advances in Health and Medicine shows that regular sauerkraut consumption is associated with healthy digestive flora. It is a fermented, finely chopped cabbage packed with fiber, probiotics, and vitamins.
✅ Olive Oil Olive oil contains fatty acids and polyphenols, making gut bacteria and microbes thrive. They work to lower gut inflammation by reducing the abundance of pathogenic bacteria and stimulating the growth of good bacteria.
✅ Peas As discussed earlier, gut bacteria love fiber and need lots of it to thrive and flourish. Like other fruits and vegetables, peas are also rich in insoluble and soluble fiber to keep your digestive system balanced and healthy.
✅ Roquefort Cheese This “stinky, live, runny” French cheese boosts your gut bacteria. However, be sure to consume in moderation as it is high in calories. As with other fermented foods, cheese delivers probiotics with a high calcium content for strong bones.
✅ Ginger and Garlic This powerful duo has antibacterial and antifungal features which can regulate the production of stomach acid, eliminate ‘bad’ bacteria, balance yeast in the gut, and stimulate the digestive system to keep food moving smoothly.
