Instead of a spoonful of sugar, try adding spices like turmeric or ginger for a gut-healthy flavor alternative.

Instead of soda, drink kombucha.

Soda may not only be causing you gastric irritation.

Plus, because it’s a fermented beverage, it can help improve your gut microbiota.

you’re free to buy kombucha or make it at home with ourHomemade Kombucharecipe.

All it takes is five ingredients to prepare.

Instead of chips, use veggies to enjoy your favorite dip.
