There is a vast range of healthy foods and varieties of diets to choose from, in the world. But, not every one of us can digest every kind of food. Food that could be great for some people’s health could be difficult to get digested in other people’s bodies.
A healthy gut is essential for a healthy life. Our digestive system has a dense population of bacteria that are known as the ‘gut microbiome’, which are helpful bacteria. They are essential for the proper digestion of the food that we consume. They can also impact our immune function. It is important to maintain the right balance of the gut microbiome which keeps our digestive system healthy and contributes to our overall health.
There are certain foods that are good for the gut, as they aid in digestion and help us in maintaining a healthy gut. Eating gut-friendly food helps us in having a proper balance of the gut microbiome. Here are a few among the many foods that promote digestive health:
- Avocado
- Berries
- Cucumber
- Yogurt
- Banana
- Garlic
- Almonds
- Pears
- Chia seeds
- Apricots
- Cumin seeds
- Papaya
Certain food habits are harmful to the gut and cause digestive trouble. Frequent intake of the food listed down can give rise to indigestion or other digestive problems:
- Processed food
- Food high in saturated fats
- Highly acidic food
- Food with high sugar content
- Extremely spicy food
Apart from food, there are other factors that influence our digestive health, such as lack of sleep, lack of exercise, excessive stress and not drinking enough water. Variety and balance in our diet combined with a healthy lifestyle help us stay healthy.
