3. Red Meat
Red meat, high in saturated fats, can be challenging for the digestive system to process. Studies suggest that a diet rich in red meat may be associated with an increased risk of diverticulitis.
To support gut health, consider lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, or plant-based alternatives. These options provide necessary protein without the potential drawbacks associated with red meat.
