Gut-Friendly Snacks: What to Eat for Better Digestion
If you’ve been feeling bloated, sluggish, or just off lately, you’re not alone.
Digestive issues have quietly become a part of daily life for many of us, especially during the monsoon, when our gut tends to be more sensitive.
While the solution often starts with what we avoid, it’s equally important to focus on what we add to our diets. The right gut-friendly snacks, made with digestion-supporting ingredients, can make a world of difference.
The Best Ingredients For Gut-Friendly Snacks
Your gut isn’t just about digestion. It’s linked to your immunity, energy levels, and even your mood. But with hectic schedules, we often reach for snacks that are overly processed, fried, or loaded with refined sugar, all of which can slow digestion and irritate the gut.
Choosing healthy homemade snacks that are light and made with functional ingredients can help keep your digestive system running smoothly without giving up on taste. These are the best ingredients that make for great gut-friendly snacks:
-
Ajwain (Carom Seeds): Known for relieving bloating and indigestion, ajwain is a kitchen hero that doubles up as a flavour enhancer.
-
Gond (Edible Gum): Packed with gut-soothing properties, gond helps with digestion and also supports joint health.
-
Sesame Seeds: Rich in fibre and healthy fats, sesame seeds keep digestion smooth and stable.
-
Coconut Oil: Contains fatty acids that are easier to digest and support gut lining health.
When these ingredients come together in a thoughtfully made snack, you get taste and digestive benefits in every bite.
