Pickles[/caption]
Fermented foods give our bodies a much needed boost in Probiotics. Probiotics help the good flora, or bacteria, grow in our guts. This in turn helps the entire body become more healthy. Yogurt, specifically Greek yogurt, is well known to help grow the good bacteria in our microbiome. Pickles are tasty, and a great way to improve the gut. Kefir is a dairy product that has been proven to not only heal our guts, but also build up bone density, and have a positive outcome for those with Osteoarthritis. Kimchi is another one of my favorites. This is a Korean dish with cabbage and has been known to also lower insulin levels, thus fighting diabetes.
Many other fermented foods are easy to include in your diet and help rebuild your gut microbiome.
Fiber-rich foods for gut health[/caption]
Foods high in fiber feed the gut microbiome and help it heal. Lentils and beans, bananas, berries, and Swiss Chard have amazing benefits to your gut and help with digestion and intestinal health. Fiber also assists with healthy weight.

GINGER
Ginger is in a class all by itself. We use ginger to treat an upset stomach. We use it to flavor our foods. Ginger is an amazing plant that has so many health benefits. It decreases inflammation, which helps with pain. Giger also has antioxidant properties, which fight free radicals in our bodies.
