WHAT YOUR GUT ACTUALLY NEEDS TO START REPAIRING
FERMENTED FOODS.
Iru. Ogiri. Dawadawa.
The fermented locust beans your grandmother used in everyday cooking.
These foods contain naturally occurring beneficial bacteria that support the gut microbiome.
When traditional fermented ingredients disappear from the kitchen and are replaced entirely with processed seasoning cubes, the diversity of gut bacteria can gradually decrease.
BONE BROTH.
Cow foot. Marrow bones. Slow cooked for hours.
Bone broth contains compounds such as collagen, glycine, and glutamine that help support the structure of the digestive tract.
These nutrients are often associated with maintaining the integrity of the gut lining and supporting recovery after digestive stress.
FATS.
Unrefined palm oil. Butter. Coconut oil.
The cells that form the gut lining require adequate nutrients, including fats, to maintain their structure and function.
Extremely low fat diets may reduce intake of certain fat soluble nutrients that play roles in immune balance and tissue maintenance.
ORGAN MEATS.
Liver especially.
Liver contains vitamin A, iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and other micronutrients that are important for immune function, red blood cell formation, and tissue repair.
Traditional diets often included organ meats regularly, but many modern diets exclude them.
Return to whole foods.
Support the gut with nutrient dense ingredients.
