Gastroenterologist lists 5 beneficial foods to eat every day
The intestines are one of the most important organs in the body. They are not only responsible for breaking down food but also for absorbing nutrients. A gastroenterologist has named the beneficial foods he eats every day, according to the Best Life Online website.
Sourdough bread
Gastroenterologist Joseph Salhab explained that sourdough contains less gluten and other bloating substances compared to other types of bread.
The fermentation process helps break down these agents, resulting in an increase in prebiotic and probiotic properties.
Kefir, cheese, or Greek yogurt
Kefir is a fermented beverage similar to milk.
Consuming this drink is associated with a wide range of nutraceutical benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-hypercholesterolemic effects.
To prevent constipation, you can sprinkle yogurt with chia seeds and occasionally add a bit of cinnamon to help reduce inflammation.
Avocado
Avocado is a well-known superfood that contains a high amount of fiber and is packed with essential nutrients, including potassium, which helps promote healthy digestion.
Avocado may also reduce gas formation as it is considered a low-fructose food.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes have a wide range of beneficial properties. They are a good antidepressant, regulate the nervous system, and improve mood due to their serotonin content.
Tomatoes have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties due to their phytocide content. They are very beneficial for the digestive system, improving digestion and metabolism.
Tomatoes can also help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cholesterol, and cancer, as well as strengthen the immune system.
Extra virgin olive oil
The beneficial effects of extra virgin olive oil on the brain and body are likely related to the presence of polyphenols hydroxytyrosol and oleic acid. These compounds protect cells under oxidative stress.
Oleic acids are monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acids that are typically more abundant in olive oil than in other vegetable oils.
