3 Foods to Incorporate into Your Diet to Support Gut Health

You know what they say; “You are what you eat!” We are perhaps just now learning how true that statement is as we discover more and more about how what goes on in our guts can affect our overall health and wellness.  If you’re looking to support your gut health, try incorporating these foods into your diet on a regular basis!

1.Avocados

Avocados? Yep! No grocery list can be complete without avocados. These delicious green fruits are a great addition to your diet to support gut health thanks to their naturally occurring fiber as well as other important nutrients.

2. Leafy Greens

Dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, chard and others are natural sources of fiber among other beneficial nutrients like folate, vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin A. Additionally, a 2016 study identified a specific type of sugar, known as sugar sulfoquinovose, which can support the growth of healthy gut bacteria and help them live out healthy lives in the digestive system.

If you aren’t a fan of cooking with whole spinach, BareOrganics offers a convenient Spinach Powder which can easily be added to your favorite green smoothie, or to recipes as desired, to taste.

3. Brown Rice with Turmeric

Turmeric is a common staple in Ayurvedic medicine and is commonly used as a natural cleanser. Pairing this spice with a whole grain like brown rice has the potential to beneficially impact the gut microbiome. Several studies have shown an increase in friendly bacteria among subjects who consumed whole grain breakfast cereal, whole grain barley and brown rice.

Keep a jar of BareOrganics Turmeric Root Powder in your spice cabinet and incorporate it into brown rice, or any of your favorite recipes for an extra dash of support.

Don’t Forget About Probiotics!

Probiotics provide friendly bacteria that help regulate your inner ecosystem, restoring balance to promote digestive health, natural immunity, and vitality from the inside out.
