5 Gut-Healthy Foods to Eat Every Week

The Gut-Brain Connection

Your gut contains 38 trillion bacteria that influence digestion, immunity, mood, and even brain function. What you eat dramatically shapes this ecosystem.

5 Foods for a Healthy Gut

• Yogurt — Live cultures of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains
• Kefir — Fermented milk with up to 30 strains of beneficial bacteria
• Kimchi — Fermented vegetables rich in probiotics and vitamins
• Sauerkraut — Fermented cabbage with beneficial lactic acid bacteria
• Oats — Beta-glucan fibre that feeds beneficial bacteria (prebiotic)

Prebiotic vs Probiotic

Probiotics are the live bacteria. Prebiotics are the fibre that feeds them. You need both for a thriving microbiome.
