Isla Hayes realized she needed a strategy that naturally supported her gut health when she chose to address her continuous stomach problems.
Isla says, “I used to feel bloated and sluggish practically every day. But everything changed after I concentrated on anti-inflammatory foods. She is now offering her preferred meal plans to assist others who might be experiencing similar challenges.
Breakfast: A Nourishing Start
Isla starts her day with a basic yet strong anti-inflammatory smoothie. “I toss half an avocado, chia seeds, frozen blueberries, spinach, and almond milk,” she explains.
Perfect for the gut, this combo is high in fiber, antioxidants, and good fats. She advises a bowl of oatmeal topped with flaxseeds, walnuts, and a drizzle of honey for those who would have something more solid.
Lunch: Light but Satisfying
Isla loves a quinoa salad full of vibrantly colored vegetables including bell peppers, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes for lunch. Her lemon-tahini dressing, which is both tart and creamy, tops it. “Quinoa is fantastic because it’s packed with nutrients and easy on the stomach,” Isla says.
She also combines fermented foods like sauerkraut or kimchi. “Fermented foods’ probiotics help to balance the gut microbiome,” she says. She advises a vegetable-packed miso soup including tofu and seaweed for people who want a warm lunch.
Dinner: Ending the Day Right
Usually dinner calls for baked fish accompanied by sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli. Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which combat inflammation, notes Isla. She advises a lentil curry including turmeric and ginger for vegetarians. “Both spices are powerhouses for anti-inflammatory action,” she says.
Snacks and Beverages
Isla keeps her snacks basic and chooses apple slices with nut butter, sliced cucumbers with hummus, or handful of almonds. She also pledges allegiance to herbal drinks. “Ginger or chamomile tea not only soothes the stomach but also lessens inflammation,” she notes.
