Ginger Tea Delight
The gastroenterologist recommends ginger tea post meals. It's a common practice in many Indian households, known for its digestive benefits and soothing
properties. This traditional remedy helps reduce bloating and aids in better digestion after a delicious Indian meal, making it a welcome addition.
Nuts for Gut Health
Walnuts and almonds get a thumbs up! These nuts are packed with fibre, essential for a healthy gut microbiome. Incorporating a handful of walnuts and almonds into your daily diet, perhaps as a mid-day snack, can have a positive impact on your overall digestive wellness, aligning with Indian snacking habits.
Vitamins: Check & Balance
Vitamin D and B12 testing is crucial. Deficiencies are surprisingly common and can affect gut health. In the Indian context, factors like limited sun exposure and dietary habits can contribute to these deficiencies. Regular testing is a proactive step for maintaining optimal health.
Olive Oil's Gentle Touch
Light heat cooking with olive oil is favoured. Olive oil is a staple in many Indian cuisines, used for its flavour and health benefits. Lightly cooking with olive oil maintains its beneficial properties, contributing to better digestion, supporting a healthy gut.
Steaming Over Raw
Steamed veggies are preferred over raw to reduce bloating. Steaming helps break down vegetables, making them easier to digest. This is particularly relevant, given the diverse range of vegetable preparations in Indian cuisine, ensuring comfortable digestion.
