Wellness coach Emma Clarke thinks a gut-healthy diet need not be complex. She has created equally good but reasonably priced meal plans for beginners.
Emma notes, “Gut health is all about balance.” “Your mood will change significantly if you cut processed options and include whole, fiber-rich foods.”
Breakfast: Overnight Oats
Overnight oats cooked with almond milk, chia seeds, and a few fresh berries are Emma’s preferred breakfast. For additional creaminess, she tosses a spoonful of almond butter.
“It’s simple to make and loaded with good fats and fiber,” she says.
Lunch: Lentil Salad
Emma suggests a lentil salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and a basic olive oil dressing for lunch.
She points out, “Lentils are a fiber powerhouse and quite flexible.”
Dinner is salmon served with steamed vegetables and quinoa.
Emma may have a gut-friendly and pleasing dinner. She sides steamed broccoli and carrots with grilled fish next to quinoa.
Emma says, “The omega-3s in salmon are great for lowering inflammation; the quinoa and vegetables give the fiber your gut requires.”
Emma’s basic approach allows even novices to adopt a gut-healthy lifestyle without feeling overburdened.
