Fiber-rich foods:
Fiber is essential for healthy digestion.
They not only promote intestinal movement, but also serve as food for the beneficial intestinal bacteria.
Whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of fiber.
By consuming these foods regularly, you support a balanced intestinal flora and prevent constipation.
Probiotic Foods:
Probiotics are live microorganisms that promote intestinal health.
Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and fermented milk products contain natural probiotics that increase the number of good bacteria in the gut.
These microorganisms help maintain the balance of intestinal flora and can thus reduce digestive problems.
Ginger:
Not only does ginger have anti-inflammatory properties, but it also promotes blood circulation in the digestive tract.
This can help relieve digestive problems and improve the absorption of nutrients.
Ginger can be used fresh in dishes or consumed as a tea to aid digestion.
Omega-3 fatty acids:
Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), flaxseeds and walnuts, help reduce inflammation in the gut.
These essential fatty acids not only support intestinal health, but also have positive effects on the immune system and the entire body.
Turmeric:
Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can promote gut health.
The active ingredient curcumin contained in turmeric can help reduce inflammation in the intestines and support digestion.
You can add turmeric to various dishes or enjoy it as a spice in warm water or tea.

It is therefore advisable to contact a nutritionist if you are unsure.
