The Recipe for a Healthy Gut:
- Tofu: rich in plant-based proteins and low in saturated fats, tofu is easy to digest and offers essential amino acids necessary for gut health.
- Kimchi: bursting with probiotics and a unique blend of spices, kimchi adds a zesty kick to the fried rice. Fermented foods like kimchi are renowned for their gut-friendly bacteria, which help maintain a healthy balance of microbes in the digestive system, promoting better digestion and immune function.
- Sesame Oil: sesame oil contains antioxidants and healthy fats that support gut health by reducing inflammation and supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
- Garlic and Onions: both garlic and onions contain prebiotic fibres that serve as fuel for the beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting a healthy microbiome and better digestion.
- Vegetables: packed with vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibre, these vegetables support gut health by promoting regularity, reducing inflammation, and nourishing the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
