6 Indian superfoods for a happy gut

What are superfoods?

Superfoods are nutrient-rich and promote gut health by improving digestion and enhancing gut flora.

Curd supports gut flora

Rich in probiotics, curd helps to maintain gut flora, cools the body, and facilitates digestion. It's best eaten plain or in chaas in the summer.

Buttermilk facilitates digestion

Chaas, a refreshing beverage, alleviates bloating and promotes digestion. It is perfect after meals, especially when it's hot outside.

Moong dal is gut-friendly

Moong dal is high in fibre and easy to digest. Because it raises body heat, it should be used sparingly in the summer even if it supports good gut flora.

Fermented foods promote gut health

Probiotic-rich fermented foods such as dosa, idli, and kanji improve gut health. Kanji is also an excellent way to stay cool during a heat wave.

Amla is a natural detox

Packed with fibre and vitamin C, amla improves digestion and detoxifies the body. For summer and gastrointestinal support, eat it fresh, in juice, or as chutney.
