These healing recipes include plant-based foods and drinks that are easy to make and are beneficial for both gut and immune health. Included is a list of probiotic foods and prebiotic foods!
Research has shown just how important gut health is to overall health. Gut health is so intertwined with the brain, that it’s been deemed the ‘second brain’. It’s believed that 90% of serotonin receptors are located in the gut, showing just how closely linked gut health is to mental health, too. An unhealthy gut has been linked to food sensitivities, allergies, IBS, sugar cravings, anxiety, depression, acne, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, fatigue, ADHD, and much more. Put simply, heal the gut: heal your mind, body, and soul. I’ve gathered some of my favorite anti-inflammatory and gut healing foods from some of the best food bloggers out there + some useful tidbits to help you on your journey to optimum health, blood sugar, and digestion! Ready to live a healthier lifestyle? Let’s get started!
How to Improve Gut Health Naturally
Include probiotic-rich fermented foods in your diet.
Include fermentable fibers a.k.a. prebiotics into your diet.
Eliminate high inflammatory foods, GMO foods, inorganic foods, highly processed and refined foods, and packaged foods, and limit dairy, gluten, and refined + unrefined sugars of any sort.
Consume more healthy fats and omega fatty acids such as those found in coconut oil, avocados, walnuts, and hemp seeds.
Include sprouted grains and seeds in your diet.
Take a probiotic capsule daily and/or digestive enzymes.
Set aside some time each day to exercise, even if it’s just ten minutes of stretching.
Get plenty of sleep and reduce stress as much as possible.
Incorporate foods high in antioxidants, such as blueberries, strawberries, artichokes, kale, and beans.
Eat whole foods.
Consume a wide variety of spices.
Prebiotics v.s. Probiotics + Health Benefits
Prebiotics are fibers that are not easily digested and ferment in the gut. The process of fermentation feeds the ‘good’ bacteria in the gut. Benefits:
Helps increase the absorption of much-needed vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.
Provides a cleansing and detoxing effect on the digestive system, helping to eliminate ‘bad’ gut bacteria and pathogens.
Helps support a healthy immune system.
Reduces inflammation in the digestive system.
Aids in weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight.
Probiotics are bacteria that are the by-products of the fermentation process in fermented foods. Probiotics are considered to be ‘good’ bacteria and help feed the gut more of what it needs. Benefits:
It increases the good bacteria in the gut and decreases the bad.
It can replenish and repopulate the gut with good bacteria after the overuse of antibiotics.
Provides the groundwork to help improve every aspect of health, which we all now know is rooted in the gut, including improving mental health, eliminating allergies, improving heart health, helping digestive disorders, reducing sugar cravings, weight reduction, improving your immune system, and much more.

If you've been recently injured or are having trouble healing, try adding the following foods to your diet: .Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A and C: Green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and fruits like pineapple, cantaloupe, citrus fruits and juices, as well as tomato juice help heal.
Cheese. Cheese is an Artisan item that provides massive healing – especially if it's aged in a Cask to Gold or Iridium quality. Using normal Milk produces basic quality Cheese, whereas using Large Milk would instantly result in Gold-star Cheese.
This is especially important when healing a wound. Water is the best hydration source, but milk, juice, or tea can also help keep skin healthy as long as the drinks are not too sugary. Doctors suggest keeping a glass of water nearby throughout the day to encourage drinking between meals.

Iron helps your body make collagen to rebuild bone. It also plays a part in getting oxygen into your bones to help them heal. Good sources: Red meat, dark-meat chicken or turkey, oily fish, eggs, dried fruits, leafy green veggies, whole-grain breads, and fortified cereals.
Eating more fiber can improve the health and variety of different types of good bacteria in our gut. Higher-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains also contain prebiotics, which are a type of fiber which helps nourish gut bacteria.
Most small wounds heal naturally with time, but home remedies — such as aloe vera, antibacterial ointment, or honey — may speed up the healing process. A wound leaves the body's internal tissues exposed to the external environment. Cuts, blows, or other impacts are common causes.
Some foods to avoid when having an open wound include: Sugar and foods with high sugar content: Sugar has an impact on collagen located on the surface of the epidermis. Especially in the fibroblast and regenerative phase of open wounds, using sugar will slow this process down and the wound will take longer to heal.
Research into biomaterials has found that the combination of banana skin and chitosan, applied topically to a wound, provides a skin tissue “scaffold” which provides a structure for cell movement and activity. The advantages of this combination are: good biocompatibility and low toxicity.
