Two Ways to Feed Our Gut
My father suffered with gut issues later in life, so this is an area I always keep an eye on.
I wish I’d had a guide like this years ago, something practical I could have worked through with him instead of trying to piece everything together on my own.
Two things that I didn’t know much about that are in the guide are:
ONE: butyrate to feed the good bacteria
One of the main fuels for the cells lining the colon, butyrate is made when good gut bacteria ferment fibre — and it supports gut barrier repair, inflammation control, immune regulation, blood sugar, brain health, and metabolic function.
Foods that help support butyrate production include cooled cooked potatoes, green bananas, oats, beans, lentils, garlic, onions and leeks.
TWO: digestive enzymes.
Bloating, gas, floating stools, food sensitivities, fatigue after meals and nutrient deficiencies can all be signs that digestion itself is struggling.
Foods rich in natural digestive enzymes include pineapple, papaya, mango, avocado, ginger, kiwi, fermented foods and raw apple cider vinegar.
This weeks free guide “Gut & Metabolic Support: Foundational Nutrients for a Healthier Gut”, and like all the guides it will highlight foods rich in that nutrient, dosage, signs you may deficient and how the nutrient will help
