A specialist in gastrointestinal health has recommended four key foods to incorporate into your diet to promote better digestion. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist with training from Harvard, emphasizes the importance of including specific items in your meals.
To begin with, Dr. Sethi highlights the benefits of consuming kiwis. He explains that kiwis are beneficial for digestion as they contain actinidin, an enzyme that aids in protein breakdown.
Following kiwis, papaya is another essential food for digestive health according to Dr. Sethi. Papain, found in papaya, supports digestion processes and helps reduce bloating.
In an unconventional suggestion, the medical expert advises adding slightly green bananas to your diet. These bananas are rich in resistant starch, which promotes a healthy gut microbiome and contributes to stable blood sugar levels.
Lastly, Dr. Sethi recommends incorporating guava into your meals to improve digestion. Guava is rich in fiber and vitamin C, both of which support smooth and regular bowel movements.
Previously, Dr. Sethi discussed the importance of superfoods like chia, flax, and basil seeds in maintaining gut health.
