𝗚𝘂𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗗 𝟭𝟵: Nausea, vomiting & diarrhea are commonly reported in #COVID19. So, maintaining a healthy gut by nourishing health friendly bacteria living in our gut is crucial during this time.

5 foods for good gut health. 'Happy tummy...happy you".

1. BROCCOLI: Good source of fibre and protein, contains iron, potassium, calcium, selenium and magnesium as well as the vitamins A, C, E, K and a good array of B vitamins including folic acid. Broccoli is a powerhouse of fibre and known for flushing out toxins from the body.

2. CURD: Yogurt or curd is a great probiotic (an ingredient that contains live bacteria). The live active cultures found in yogurt fight disease-causing germs and keep your gut and intestinal tract protected. Curd also improves immunity and great source of dietary calcium.

3. BANANA: A medium-sized banana has about 3 grams of fiber, making bananas a fairly good fiber source. Banas are also good source of potassium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Copper and Manganese.

4. WHOLE GRAINS: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat pasta are considered best for the digestive system. Whole grains have dietary fibers, which are extremely easy to digest and also lowers your blood sugar levels.

5. FLAXSEEDS: Flaxseeds are superfoods for the entire body, these are filled with dietary fibers. Fibers aid in digestion and keeps your gut free from disorders. Have a handful of flaxseed daily to boost your metabolism and provide energy.

NOTE: Although these 5 foods are being enlisted, few points to consider:

3. 8-10 glasses of water a day is recommended for enough hydration.
4. Late night dinner must be avoided.
5. Long gap between 2 meals needs to be narrowed down.
