Episode notes
Artichokes for Gut Health
- Eat artichoke hearts and baby artichokes for their high inulin prebiotic fiber benefits.
- Scrape the leaves to get the edible parts and avoid eating the tough leaves themselves.
Root Veggies' Microbiome Benefits
- Root vegetables carry their own microbiome which benefits your immune and brain health.
- Cooked or raw, their dead bacteria still deliver postbiotic benefits.
Enjoy Okra for Fiber and Lectin Blocking
- Try oven-roasted okra to avoid its slimy texture and gain soluble fiber benefits.
- Okra also absorbs lectins, blocking them from entering your body.
