Doctor says eating three foods can help improve gut health and boost protein intake
Digestive issues such as stomach pain, bloating and nausea, as well as sleep problems, can all be linked to poor gut health.
Similarly, a protein deficiency can lead to muscle loss, brittle hair and nails, and a weakened immune system - not ideal as we approach the cold and flu season.However, Dr Karan Rajan, known for his medical advice on TikTok, has shared a way to boost both your gut health and protein intake.
In a recent video, he recommended three key foods to incorporate into your diet.Firstly, nutritional yeast. Known to vegetarians and vegans for its cheesy flavour without any animal products, it's also rich in B vitamins, beneficial for gut lining.Dr Rajan highlighted its high protein density, with two tablespoons providing 8g of protein.
It also contains beta-glucans, a prebiotic found in oats that promotes anti-inflammatory compounds and beneficial bacteria growth in the gut, reports Surrey Live.
