Tara Lane has it all worked out for keeping a good and healthy gut. Passionate supporter of digestive health and trained nutritionist, Tara thinks that our diet is the first step towards a better digestive system.
Tara says, “Your gut is like your second brain. “Feeding it the correct foods will help your general health to improve mental clarity and increase energy.”
Her meal plans combine taste with science-based nutrition to fit a range of dietary requirements. These are some salient features:
Morning Boost: Probiotic Smoothie
Get a gut-friendly probiotic smoothie first thing in morning. Greek yogurt, a dash of almond milk, frozen blueberries, spinach, and a teaspoon of chia seeds make Tara’s favorite recipe. “Including fermented foods like yogurt brings good bacteria into your gut,” she says.
Midday Power: Fermented Vegetables Quinoa Salad
Made with cooked quinoa, chopped kale, shredded carrots, and a lot of kimchi, this salad looks “Fermented vegetables are a terrific way to support gut health and add a tangy twist to your meals,” Tara says.
Dinner delight: steamed veggies topped with miso-glazed salmon
Finish your evening with a nutrient-dense meal with sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli accompanied by miso-glazed fish. “Miso is another great fermented food high in probiotics,” Tara notes.
Tara’s ideas also stress awareness of eating mindfully and drinking. She advises drinking water laced with lemon and mint or ginger tea to help digestion all through the day.
“Gut health is not limited to avoiding junk food,” Tara says. “It’s about purposefully load nutrient-dense, gut-supportive foods on your plate. Little, regular adjustments add up to great results.
