The gut refers to the gastrointestinal system. It is a part of our body system that our food passes through to be digested, absorbed, and excreted. Your gut breaks down all the food you consume into valuable nutrients. The broken-down materials are delivered as nutrients throughout your body. These processes are only possible with a healthy gut.
Why do we need a healthy gut?
A healthy gut can ward off infectious bacteria, fungi, or viruses with its gut microbiome. Having a wide range of these gut microbiomes can be incredibly beneficial to a healthy body. The gut communicates with the brain through the gut-brain connection to maintain our general well-being and health.
What makes a gut-friendly recipe?
Many unprocessed and whole foods specifically nourish your gut microbe. Most of these foods include fiber, prebiotics, probiotics, and polyphenols. Examples of this food include carrots, pats, apples, beans, vegetables, nuts, fruits, herbs and spices, yogurt, etc.
