Prof. Dr Giovanni Leonetti, a specialist general surgeon at Cornerstone Clinic, shares the top 4 foods that we can incorporate into our daily diet to increase gut health.
These specific foods can also be beneficial during Iftar, as they not only aid in replenishing the beneficial bacteria in the gut but also help in a smoother breakdown and absorption of the nutrients from other foods eaten during the meal. The best way to keep a healthy gut is to maintain a healthy diet by prioritising fresh, whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. It is equally important to drink plenty of water throughout the day, chew slowly and avoid excessively sugary foods. Probiotics can also be taken orally, especially when taking antibiotics, to support gut health.
