Beets are a good source of fiber that feeds gut bacteria and promotes healthy digestion. Though some are put off by their earthy taste, when prepared well they can be incredibly delicious. Consider roasting them with some salt, pepper, and other seasonings you enjoy to be added to salads, ‘buddah’ bowls, and other meals. You can also add them to smoothies for an extra bit of nutritional value. Do be mindful of the quantity of beets you consume, as they can cause your urine to turn red and also may send you to the bathroom for a bowel movement more urgently than you’d like.

Rich in insoluble fiber and magnesium, dark green vegetables enhance bowel movements and promote good gut bacteria. Leafy greens are high in a specific kind of fiber known as prebiotics. These help add bulk to stools and keep your digestive system moving well. On top of that, these dark green wonders are so full of other important vitamins and minerals that you really can’t afford not to include them in your diet. These include kale, lettuces, collard greens, arugula, and broccoli, and really any other dark green vegetable.

One of the reasons why so many of us experience stomach problems, bloating, and other digestion-related ailments is due to inflammation throughout our digestive tract. Salmon’s omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation in the gut, benefiting those with digestive disorders. These healthy fats are also extremely important for so many other areas of our health, so be sure to include responsibly sourced salmon as often as you are able.
