Eat 30 People who eat 30 or more different plant foods each week are likely to have a much more varied gut microbiota than those who eat 10 or less1. Try switching to whole meal pasta when cooking, adding an extra portion of veg to your plate or snacking on nuts and seeds. 2. Get into nature Did you know contact with the great outdoors is enough to influence our gut bacteria2? Science shows that exposure to green spaces and outdoor sunlight has proved successful at improving mental wellbeing, reducing depression and anxiety symptoms, while also having a positive effect on stress reduction3,4. 3. Keep track Monitor your gut health by tracking what you eat and drink. Use a food, mood and symptoms diary, to keep note of the food and drink you consume, as well as symptoms. Share with your GP or dietitian who will then be able to identify any triggers. Doctor-recommended gut-friendly recipes From Dr Joan Ransley Looking after your gut doesn't have to be tricky. Many foods that are an integral part of a gut-healthy diet, such as oats, beans, vegetables, and nuts, are likely to be in your cupboard or fridge already. It's these ingredients that can form the base for nutritious meals which not only taste great, but can also assist your everyday wellbeing. To help inspire everyone to cook the gut-friendly way, Dr Joan Ransley has developed new tasty recipes, from a tofu scramble that's perfect for breakfast, to a green salad with edamame beans and more.
