A Simple Tip to Improve Digestion & Reduce Bloating
What’s one thing you can do that helps reduce bloating and supports digestion?
▶️ eat foods that are IN SEASON.
By consuming seasonal produce, you're taking in a variety of nutrients as you rotate them in and out, which provides your gut with a more dynamic and varied population of health-supporting bacteria. This bacteria is great for improving your digestion, assimilation and elimination, if you know what I mean ;).
Additionally, the nutritional value is higher when you rotate your foods by eating seasonally, so you’re boosting your overall nutrient intake, which as a result optimizes your internal systems, like your digestive system.
The seasons also naturally provide the appropriate foods that our bodies need, so during the summer, think more hydrating, light and refreshing foods. This alignment aids in digestion by our digestive system a bit of a break from the heavier foods.
If you eat fruit and veggies (which is a conversation for another time), then start to pay attention to eating with the season, and to help you out, below are some fruits and veggies that you can enjoy all summer long!
Summer Fruit and Vegetables:
Berries
Cherries
Summer Squash
Corn
Melons: cantaloupe, honeydew
Stone fruits: peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines (cherries again)
Tomatoes
Watermelon
Beets
Peppers
Grapes
Cucumber
You can eat these fruits and veggies raw, mix them up in a salad or rice bowl, cook them on the grill, season them with herbs, oils and dressings and munch on them as a snack with your favorite dip or cheese.
AND, if you’re not already taking a probiotic, that is a MUST for optimizing your digestion and alleviating bloating. My personal favorite brand that I take daily, is Seed DS-01™. It’s a synbiotic, which means it contains both a prebiotic formulation that feeds and the supports the probiotics, as well as 24 scientifically-validated probiotic strains to best support the health of your body. It’s shelf-stable and has been designed to survive the journey through your body with it’s special outer capsule. I can’t speak highly enough about it!
