How to improve your gut health

With the importance of looking after your gut health slowly becoming a trend on social media, we recently sat down with registered dietician, Kathryn Stewart from the Dublin Nutrition Centre to look at the importance of looking after your gut health and how people can start.

“I know that sounds like loads when people initially start- 30? Oh my gosh, I don’t even know 30 foods!- But that includes any herb spice. If you put pepper on your eggs, if you add mixed herbs in, if you add curry powder, if you add chilli. Every different herb and spice counts as one plant food.” To reduce cholesterol or improving bloating symptoms you can increase your intake of fibre: “Soluble fibre is in things that you can add water, so chia seeds, lintels, porridge notes, you add water to them and they change”.

“Apart from peppermint tea, there’s nothing I’d be like, yes, definitely! That has got loads of evidence for helping with your gut health.”
