When it comes to the food that I eat, I am very consciences about what I am putting in my body. I choose to eat a fairly healthy, plant-based diet consisting of mostly vegetables, legumes, complex carbs, nuts, and fruits. Some specific foods that I choose to eat that I know benefits my gut is greek yogurt. Greek yogurt contains good probiotics that help promote the growth of the beneficial bacteria in our guts. Complex carbohydrates such as multi-grain bread, bananas, beans, and others also help support the health of bacteria in our gut.
Another specific thing I choose to put into my body to help my gut health is kombucha. Along with the good taste of it, I know it provides many amazing benefits. There are naturally occurring bacteria that live within the drink due to the fermentation that aid in digestion, and protects against the overgrowth of yeast in our GI tract.
I know that I could also be taking a probiotic supplement, but I think that my diet is good enough that I am getting the proper nutrients from it.
