Intestinal health, like that of the entire body, is very important. And if you want to forget about problems and protect yourself from gut diseases, add to your diet the herbs that gastroenterologist Saurab Sethi has named truly beneficial.
Gut-friendly herbs
According to the gastroenterologist, there are spices and herbs that will help your body function better.
Fennel
It contains anethole, which improves digestion and helps protect the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract from spasms. Additionally, fennel combats diarrhea.
Ginger
This product helps fight inflammatory processes and can aid those suffering from gastrointestinal disorders. However, consuming too much ginger is not advisable. Moderation is key.
Peppermint
The menthol in peppermint helps improve gastrointestinal function and digestion. However, individuals with acid reflux should avoid such spices, as they may exacerbate their condition.
Turmeric
This famous spice helps the gut deal with inflammatory processes and can protect against diseases and poisoning.
Chamomile
Regular chamomile tea not only improves gut function but also restores balance. Also, you can pour boiling water over dried chamomile flowers and use the resulting liquid to help relieve bloating.
However, radically changing your diet and consuming even beneficial foods in unlimited quantities is definitely not recommended. Always consider your individual needs and remember possible allergic reactions. Also, consult with experts whenever necessary.
