Many people struggle with indigestion and bloating. A major factor in indigestion are the types of food you are putting into your body. Luckily, there are plenty of foods out there that can help heal your gut, have probiotics in them, and are overall healthy for you!

Listed on heartandsoil.co, 11 factors may be: processed foods, artificial sweeteners, stress, alcohol/smoking, household chemicals, environmental toxins, excessive sanitation, genetics, antibiotic usage, medications and C sections.
Foods high in fiber, protein, or have probiotics in them are vital in maintaining a consistent digestive track. For example, yogurt is beneficial due to its probiotic count. Certain fruits and vegetables suppress bloating and are good sources of fiber. Some go-to fruits and vegetables are cherries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, avocadoes and potatoes.

A few weeks ago, my friend and I started to drink a cup of green tea every morning with our breakfast to help with our indigestion. It was amazing how immediate the results were. Our stomachs felt lighter right away, and our energy was much higher. It is safe to say we will continue to implement this in our daily routines.
