3. Promote Gut Health
Over recent years, nutritional science has released exciting research regarding the microbiomes that live in your digestive system. These microscopic bacteria play a significant role in determining our overall health and well-being. People with poor gut health are at higher risk of developing chronic disease and autoimmune disorders.
You can improve your gut health by eating probiotic foods. Fruits such as pineapple, papaya, and grapefruit provide your biomes with a rich source of prebiotic fiber which helps them thrive. Fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi also contain live probiotic enzymes that are excellent nutrition for optimal microbiome health.
Eating raw dairy products that haven’t undergone pasteurization also enhances gut health. Raw milk, cheese, and dairy like organic Greek yogurt come packed with probiotic and prebiotic enzymes.
Drinking bone broth is a means of getting extra collagen into your GI tract. Collagen restores gut health by reducing inflammation of the intestinal wall, healing symptoms of autoimmune diseases like “leaky gut.”
