🌿 Let’s Talk: Gut Health & Bloating

Your tummy isn’t just a food processor—it’s your second brain, your immune HQ, and your skin’s secret weapon.

If you find yourself constantly bloated, sluggish, or uncomfortable after meals, you’re not alone. Bloating is one of the most common digestive complaints—and often, it’s your gut’s way of waving a little red flag asking for help.

The good news? You don’t need a complicated cleanse or expensive supplements. You can start healing your gut and reducing bloating right from your plate.

🥦 Best Foods for Beating Bloating & Boosting Gut Health

Here’s what to keep in your kitchen if your tummy needs a little extra TLC:

✅ Fermented foods – Natural probiotics like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, plain yoghurt (with live cultures), and miso help balance your gut bacteria.

✅ Leafy greens – Spinach, kale, rocket, and chard feed your good bacteria and help things move along (if you know what I mean).

✅ Ginger & turmeric – Anti-inflammatory heroes that soothe the gut lining and calm digestion.

✅ Oats – High in soluble fibre to support regularity without being too heavy.

✅ Papaya & pineapple – Contain enzymes that naturally break down food and reduce bloating.

✅ Fennel seeds – Can relieve trapped wind and reduce inflammation in the gut (try sipping fennel tea after meals).

✅ Bone broth – Rich in collagen and amino acids that help heal the gut lining.

✅ Berries, bananas, and apples (with skin) – Fibre-packed fruits that are gentle on digestion.

✅ Water, water, water – Staying hydrated is essential to keep things flowing smoothly.
