Gut Health

Continued from Page 6 antioxidants, which combat stress and inflammation in the body.

Plantains

Plantains are a good source of fiber, vitamins, magnesium and potassium, as well as starchy carbohydrates for long lasting energy.

Bananas

Bananas are rich in prebiotics that benefit the gut.

Avocados

Also high in prebiotic nutrients, avocados are great for gut health.

Apples

Apples have pectin, which provides another source of important fiber for the gut. Apples are also rich in quercetin, another polyphenol nutrient that supports the mucus layer.

Pomegranates

Pomegranates are rich in polyphenols that are prebiotics that won’t trigger gas, like some of the vegetable-based ones, such as garlic and onions, while helping to promote and heal the mucus layer that protects the gut lining.
