It is also <a>a good source<\/a> of protein. Choose yogurt that has no added sugar. Mix them with fruit or oats to make a delicious, gut-healthy power meal. Make sure you check the ingredients before buying yogurt to avoid yogurt full of sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Kimchi:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a popular Korean side dish that uses fermented vegetables filled with probiotics to promote healthy gut. In addition to its gut health-promoting properties, kimchi also has cruciferous vegetables that contain nutrients with powerful antioxidants that may prevent some types of cancer. Cabbage is also a prebiotic, which makes kimchi both pre- and probiotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Whole grains:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whole grains like oats, corn, wheat, etc., help to make the colon function optimally when your intake at least 25 grams of fiber daily. Compared to refined carbohydrates, like white bread and pasta, whole grains provide lots of fiber, as well as added nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids. When gut bacteria ferment fiber, they produce short-chain fatty acids (small molecules that promote proper function) in the cells lining the colon, where 70% of our immune cells live. Despite the benefits of low-carb diets for weight loss, <a>don\u2019t<\/a> avoid grains altogether because they may not be healthy for good gut bacteria that thrive on fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leafy greens:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Leafy greens such as spinach or kale are excellent sources of fiber, along with essential nutrients like folate, vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin A. Research shows that leafy greens also contain a specific type of sugar that works as food for healthy gut bacteria. Eating a lot of fiber and leafy greens allows for the development of a healthy gut microbiome with trillions of organisms that live in the colon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Kombucha:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Kombucha is a fermented fizzy tea that is a combination of fruit juice, spices, and other flavors. This drink is loaded with probiotics and is one of the easiest ways to boost your probiotic intake each day. Just take a sip and enjoy the many flavors. It may have a sharp, vinegary taste and can be used as a refreshing drink on its own or mixed with fruit and spices. Consuming kombucha may protect against comorbidities linked with obesity, such as high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> However, you should avoid this drink during pregnancy because it may contain alcohol (natural byproduct of the fermentation process where sugars in sweetened tea are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by yeast), which is not good during pregnancy. And when it comes to kombucha, sometimes the label might not match <a>what\u2019s<\/a> inside the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dragon fruit:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dragon fruit is not only beautiful, but it also offers many health benefits (including gut-related benefits too). It is rich in fiber and the best fruit to relieve constipation. Some studies suggest that Dragon fruit has amazing prebiotic potential because the types of fiber found in this fruit can stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. So, add dragon fruit as a snack in the afternoon, or add it to your smoothie to give your gut a healthy, beautiful treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Garlic offers amazing antibacterial and antifungal properties, which help to balance <a>good bacteria<\/a> in your gut. It also supports your immune system, which is linked with healthier blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. It also acts as food for gut bacteria, which improves gut health. You can add garlic to your diet in many ways, like adding small pieces to your dishes or adding it to your mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some of the best gut health foods that you should add to your diet today to keep your gut healthy and improve your overall digestion. If your gut is unhealthy, it impacts your overall body functionality, causing many symptoms, so it is crucial that you keep your gut healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Need more personalized diet plans for your gut health?
