Gut Health Basics
Your gut, often called the 'second brain', plays a huge role in overall health. It impacts digestion, immunity, and even mood. For Indians, cultural food
habits are often centered around rice, dal, and curries. Learning about the importance of gut health can really make a difference.
Foods to Embrace
Focus on incorporating fiber-rich foods like ragi, a time-tested grain, into your diet. Include fortified cereals, and explore plant-based milks to fill traditional nutritional gaps. Slightly green bananas, as advised by AIIMS gastroenterologists, are also beneficial for gut health.
Foods to Limit
Sadhguru recommends avoiding certain foods to maintain a healthy life. Remember to be mindful of what you eat. Cultural familiarity doesn't automatically mean that particular foods are always good for your gut. This will benefit your overall well-being.
Vitamin D Boosters
Explore vegetarian options rich in vitamin D. Certain vegetarian foods like mushrooms can naturally boost vitamin D levels, supporting your immune system. Keep this in mind when planning your meals in order to stay healthy.
Practical Tips
Integrate these dietary adjustments gradually. Start small, experimenting with different recipes and finding what suits your body best. Understanding your gut will help improve your health by leaps and bounds.
