Eat fermented foods
Foods that have been fermented (a process similar to preserving, but which boosts good bacteria) are really good for your digestive system. They help maintain the microorganisms needed for a healthy gut – and we promise they can taste nice, too! You’ve probably heard of (or tried) the Japanese seasoning miso, used in miso soup, which is made from fermented soybeans. SUSAN SAYS, ‘Since including fermented food in my diet, I’ve noticed that my gut functions more smoothly and the bloating I used to get has gone away.’ TRY… adding kefir (fermented milk) on top of chopped fruit, or a tablespoon of kimchi (fermented vegetables) to your salad.
