The Best Foods For Gut Health And Digestion

You can do your digestion a big favor by adding gut-friendly, anti-inflammatory foods to your plate this season. These simple ingredients help keep things moving, reduce water retention, and support your liver and digestive health.

Include These Gut Health Foods In Your Meal Rotation:

Fresh ginger root adds a multitude of gut-healing and inflammation-fighting benefits along with its delicious spicy flavor. Keep some of this on hand and add it to soups, rice, even oatmeal. 

Pumpkins are high in fiber and are highly beneficial for gut health. Pumpkins also contain lots of beta carotene which helps keep your skin nourished during the colder months.

The fiber in fresh seasonal apples are highly beneficial for your gut; it feeds the good bacteria and helps relieve inflammation. Apples help to regulate digestion and are high in vitamin C. 

Like apples, Asian pears are high in fiber, and they help maintain healthy levels of beneficial bacteria.

Beets may help reduce inflammation in the gut. Beets also have a beneficial effect on the liver. 

Fresh celery is a wonderful addition to your gut-healthy diet, as they are loaded with beneficial fiber. Many people swear by the benefits of drinking fresh celery juice for gut health, so if you have a juicer, try a glass of celery juice in the morning.

Bitter salad greens such as chicory, arugula, and endive can be eaten before a meal to stimulate digestion, and support the liver and gallbladder. However, it’s important to not drown their slight bitter flavor with sweet or creamy dressings. Simply toss with a light vinaigrette, and enjoy before the meal. 

The aromatic oils in fennel bulbs ease bloating and excessive gas. Slice thinly and add to salads or sandwiches. 

Persimmons are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants like beta carotene, which benefits vision, and skin health. Persimmons are also rich in gut-boosting fiber. 

Radicchio looks like red cabbage, but has a distinctly different flavor, texture, and nutrient profile. Radicchio contains inulin, an insoluble fiber that acts as a food for the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Compounds in radicchio have also been shown to benefit the heart and brain. Radicchio tastes great in salads, but can also be grilled or sauteed.
