This bit of information is enough to boggle our heads, as previously we thought it was our cravings responsible for poor gut health and obesity. Haven’t you tried to suppress your cravings, failing miserably, and end up with more junk in the name of satiating those built-up cravings?

Well, as the expert says, the secret lies in having good food and a healthy lifestyle in your daily routine. This will eventually improve your gut health by producing good bacteria, suppressing the bad ones. This, in a way, will help you forgo cravings as your brain will no more signal you to have those candies 🍬 or pizzas 🍕!!!

What Food to Take For Good Gut Health? 

Wondering what food promotes good gut health? Well, you can have a high-fibre diet full of chickpeas, broccoli, carrots, whole grains, and some cucumber 🥕🥦.

Fermented food like yoghurt, buttermilk, fermented rice, etc., can multiply the growth of good gut bacteria. Whereas if you are thinking about natural prebiotics, onions, green bananas, garlic, and asparagus will do the job well 🍌🧅.

So, everything comes to an end with you having a healthy meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No cheating, no escapes in between. A good gut health demands dedication above all the cravings.
