Day 2 - Good morning!!

You may be pleasantly surprised to hear about all the tasty foods that support your gut and microbiome!

Here's what to put on your plate for those friendly microbes working on your behalf - FOR THIS WEEK you'll be adding:

1. 🌈 Colorful Fruits and Veggies: Vibrantly colored produce provides compounds and nutrients that support gut health. Berries, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower), and citrus fruits are excellent choices. Remember to mix it up: eating a wide variety of plant foods promotes a diverse gut microbiome, which is linked to better health!

POST CLEANSE YOU'LL be following the weekly add ons, but here's why they're all so BENEFICIAL for your Microbiome:

2. 🥦 Fiber-Rich Foods: These fiber-packed wonders act as fuel for the good bacteria in your gut, promoting their growth and diversity. Post Cleanse Think whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice, as well as fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), and nuts.

3️.🥗 Fermented Foods: These gems are rich in live good bacteria (aka probiotics). Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, and kombucha are examples of fermented foods that can help populate your gut with beneficial microbes. (Check labels for varieties that are minimally processed and free from added sugars.)

4️.🥑 Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, and seeds provide essential fatty acids that contribute to a healthy gut. They also aid in nutrient absorption.

5️. 🐟 Lean Proteins: Lean sources of protein, such as poultry, fish, legumes, tofu, eggs and tempeh provide essential amino acids to nourish your gut and overall well-being. Incorporating plant-based protein options can also help strengthen your microbiome diversity and they have less saturated fats.

6️. 🚫Limit Processed Foods and Added Sugars: These foods can disrupt the balance of bacteria in your gut and feed the "bad guys." Instead, focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods to nurture your gut.
