Gut Health & Immunity – Part 3

Our gut loves foods that are easy to digest — let’s explore how you can make eating gentler on your system. 🌱

💡 Step 3: think about how the foods you eat are broken down in the gut, ask yourself does that look hard to eat or easy to digest?

If your immune system has taken a bit of a dive, it’s a really good idea to stick to foods that have been broken down or cooked for long periods of time (slowly).

E.g soups, stews, fresh vegetable and ginger juices- this means that the processing of your food will make the nutrients are easier to absorb.

This approach takes a bit of weight off digestion so your gut tissue can repair and concentrate on absorbing nutrients.

Raw foods are hard to digest and need to be eaten in moderation if your immune system needs a bit of support.

✨ Small tweaks in food prep can make a huge difference to your gut and immunity!
