Top foods to help reduce gut inflammation

Gut inflammation is at the root of many digestive issues like bloating, gas, IBS, and even autoimmune flare-ups. The good news? Your diet can play a major role in calming that inflammation and supporting a healthier gut lining. Here are some of the top anti-inflammatory foods for gut health: 🫐 1. Blueberries Packed with antioxidants and fiber, blueberries help feed beneficial gut bacteria and reduce oxidative stress, which can drive inflammation. 🥬 2. Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Arugula) These veggies are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and provide polyphenols that help protect the gut lining and lower inflammation. 🥑 3. Avocados Loaded with healthy fats and fiber, avocados support digestion and help reduce inflammatory markers in the gut. 🫒 4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil A staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is full of anti-inflammatory compounds like oleocanthal, which acts similarly to ibuprofen in the body—without the side effects. 🦴 5. Bone Broth Rich in collagen and amino acids like glutamine, bone broth supports gut lining repair and soothes inflammation, especially helpful in leaky gut. 🧄 6. Garlic and Onions These prebiotic-rich foods help feed your healthy gut bacteria while offering antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. 🧉 7. Ginger and Turmeric Both spices are known for their potent anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive effects. Use them in teas, soups, or smoothies.

Final Tip: Avoiding processed foods, refined sugars, and excessive alcohol is just as important as adding in the right foods. Small changes can lead to big improvements in your gut health and overall wellness.
