What breakfast is good for gut health?

Tais Sardinas

Great question! The best recipes for gut health are high in fibre. Fibre is found in the skin of fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. Fibre will feed the beneficial gut bacteria in your gut and get them to multiply. Yay! However, if your gut lining is irritated or sensitive, then too much fibre can cause inflammation. In that case, the first step would be to heal your gut lining, then learn which foods your body thrives on and which foods harm it and finally, eat a variety of fibre-rich foods.
