Have you had your veggies yet? I certainly did. For breakfast! And why? Because I find myself craving sweets and junk food lately. And that can only mean one thing: I don’t get enough nutrients for my body. It has nothing to do with proteins or the amounts you eat. Your body needs vitamins, fiber and other nutrients that only vegetable deliver in that particular perfect way. Eating veggies and greens feeds the good bacteria in your gut, creates a good flora. If you have an overgrowth of bad bacteria’s, you’ll find yourself wanting to eat more sugar and fats, cause that’s exactly what these bacteria want in order to grow. The symptoms are clear: feeling tired, having bed digestion, feeling heavy and bloated, even skin issues!!! Don’t underestimate the power of veggies and greens! I don’t need to be a nutritionist to know that as I have been experiencing that with my own body. The moment I eat vegetables on a regular base, I am way more balanced, energetic and find myself making way better food choices throughout the day. It’s the best feeling in the world, knowing you’re giving the body, the only body you’ll ever have (!!!), what it needs to be strong and healthy. #healthylifestyle #goodbacteria #probiotics #feelinggood #gooddigestion #goodskin #beingvegan #veganlunch #saladbowl

Temperature

The temperature of your food actually really does change the way you digest it. Foods that are already cooked are usually digested easier because they are already warmed up, your body does not have to use as much energy to break them down. But, if you already eat all your meals hot, try adding some raw foods to your diet.

Water

Water is a super underestimated agent for good digestion. Not only does your entire body work better with water in it, but the kind of water you drink affects your body as well! Instead of drinking cold water with a meal, change it to lukewarm, and you’ll have a much easier time digesting. And, the best thing to do after a meal is to simply sip on warm or hot water to help break down your food.

]]> Because of the unhealthy life we live, a lot of people experience digestion problems. Taking proper care of your gut should be of ultimate importance. Today we bring you the five best foods for digestion.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are not only delicious but also bring a lot of benefits to the table. They are one of the best foods for digestion, because of the rich fiber content.

Beetroot

Beetroot is an amazing vegetable that can do wonders for your health. When it comes to digestion, it is already proven that this vegetable restores the condition of the gut. It contains fiber, magnesium and more. In other words, if you start including it in your meals, all those problems will go away.

Brown Rice

Whole grain foods are also a great way to restore your digestion. Instead of opting for white rice, simply switch it with brown.

Yogurt

Yogurt will provide you with probiotics, that keep the good bacteria in your gut healthy and happy. It is one of the most important foods for digestion. When the good bacteria is balanced, you shouldn’t be experiencing any problems.

Sauerkraut

Just like yogurt, sauerkraut is a great source of good bacteria. All fermented foods can help you with digestion, so don’t hesitate before putting them on your shopping list.

Homemade Sauerkraut recipe! There’s something about sauerkraut that seems so complex but I've tried and tested a recipe that proves this fermented food is far less complicated than you may think. Actually, this 15-minute process involves minimal effort. Chop up your favorite cabbage variety, add sea salt and let it ferment for a few days (even weeks) for a tangy, probiotic-rich surprise! Jazz up your creation by adding caraway seeds and herbs. Enjoy it as a side dish, sandwich topping or right out of the jar! The beneficial probiotics found in sauerkraut are important for good digestive health, and while more research is needed into the exact types of beneficial bacteria found in sauerkraut and other fermented foods, we do know that they 'feed' the good bacteria in your gut and can help to combat inflammation. 🙌🏻❤ Here is link to this recipe on my @vitacost blog: bit.ly/TEDkraut #theearthdiet #guthealth #earthdiet #vitacost #recipe

]]> Dates have been around since at least 6th century BC. Yet, even today people are crazy about this dried fruit. If you don’t know, dates are fruit that is usually dried after several stages of ripening to make them as sweet as possible. They are very sticky, as are most dried fruits and have a slightly caramel-like taste. They are widely used in vegan cooking because they are great at binding doughs together, as well as sweetening dishes. But, beyond their delicious taste, dates have so many health benefits that you shouldn’t miss out on.

Digestion

Dates have a lot of soluble fiber, which means that it can help you if you have problems with constipation, giving you smooth digestion.

Bone Health

Among other properties, dates carry many vitamins and minerals like selenium, manganese, copper, and magnesium. All of these things help you to strengthen your bones to help prevent against awful diseases like osteoporosis.

Anemia

Most people think you have to resort to red meat for an iron deficiency like anemia, but you can get plenty of iron by eating dates! Not only will you be not as sluggish, the sugar in the dates will help balance your blood sugar levels.
