Benefits
Asparagus is a great source of inulin which is an insoluble fibre that feeds the good bacteria in your gut and helps keep your bowels regular. If the bugs in your gut are happy and getting the food they need to thrive you will have less bloating and better overall digestion.
Baby spinach is high in fibre, which supports healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements.
For some people, this can help prevent constipation, a common cause of bloating. The fibre in spinach acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, which can contribute to a balanced gut microbiome and reduce bloating over time.
Baby spinach also provides nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K. It is also low in FODMAPS, which are fermentable sugars that can cause bloating in people with IBS or sensitive digestive systems.
Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting overall growth and development. They contain Vitamin A, which is important for vision and immune function, and Vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health. They also provide essential minerals like Iron and Zinc.
Eggs contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. They also provide a good amount of Vitamin B12, which is essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function.
Many yoghurts contain live probiotic cultures (such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium), which support a healthy gut microbiome. Probiotics can help regulate digestion, reduce gas, and alleviate bloating.
