Day 19 - Opu's Daily Digest - The Underrated Gut Heroes Hiding in Your Produce Drawer!

Welcome to Day 19 of Opu Daily Digest - 30 Days to Better Gut Health!

Today we are giving a standing ovation🏅 to some of the unsung heroes of gut health, onions, bananas, and leeks.

These everyday foods might not always get the glory, but they are quietly working behind the scenes to fuel and strengthen your microbiome.

Each of these gut-friendly favorites is packed with prebiotic fibers, which your good gut bacteria 🦠 feed on.

The more good bacteria you feed, the stronger 💪 and more balanced your gut becomes.

Here is why they are worth celebrating:

  • Onions 🧅 contain inulin, a powerful prebiotic fiber that promotes gut diversity
  • Bananas 🍌 offer a double whammy of prebiotics and gentle probiotic support
  • Leeks are loaded with fiber and natural compounds that encourage the growth of good bacteria 🦠.

The best part? These foods are affordable, easy to find, and simple to add to your meals.
