Foods that are good for the gut should be rich in prebiotics. They support the activity of the intestinal microflora and are generally good for the gastrointestinal tract.

It will be interesting to know that most of these products can be grown by any amateur gardener or purchased at the market or in a store.

The problem was worked on by employees of San Jose State University in the USA.

As a result, they were able to identify five foods that support bowel function.

In total, thousands of types of products had to be studied, but the maximum prebiotic effect was found in greens.

Healthy greens

1. Dandelion leaves.

2. Jerusalem artichoke.

3. Garlic.

4. Leek.

5. Onions.

All this vegetation has a positive effect on the intestinal microflora.

In addition, vegetables and greens contain an abundance of fiber, which is no less important for bowel function and overall health.

How much is there?

It will be enough to eat ½ of a medium onion in order to provide the body with the daily requirement of prebiotics necessary for the intestines.
