Gut Healing Smoothie

Smoothie-licious

Nutrient dense alternatives like sweet potato, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower provides indole-3-carbinol to support immune function. Eating fiber-rich foods is linked to an increase in short-chain fatty acids. These short-chain fatty acids may help reduce intestinal permeability and promote the growth of good gut bacteria. Fiber also lowers C-reactive protein (CRP), a substance in the blood that indicates inflammation.

High-quality protein sources with a variety of amino acids can help improve gut microbiota and wound healing. Low collagen is a marker for inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease and is added to this plan from bone broth, salmon, and eggs. Glutamine plays an important role in gut microbiota and immunity and is found in chicken, spinach, and cabbage.
