Prepare fiber-rich dishes that are good for the gut

Quang Minh |

A high-fiber meal from whole grains, beans and vegetables contributes to nourishing the gut microbiome.

An easy suggestion to make is chicken bean stew with vegetables and rolled oatmeal.

Chicken beans can be soaked first, cooked soft and then combined with carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and a small amount of rolled oats.

The ingredients are stewed or cooked just right with the broth, limiting the amount of butter, cream or processed meat. When eating, you can use a little green vegetables.

Therefore, chicken beans, oats and vegetables have the advantage of creating a combination of fiber from legumes, whole grains and many types of vegetables, instead of just focusing on a single source.

Fiber is a carbohydrate component that the body does not fully digest in the small intestine. Part of the fiber goes down to the large intestine, where it can become a source of micronutrients for intestinal microorganisms.

To make fiber-rich dishes more beneficial for the gut, you should prioritize methods such as steaming, boiling, or stewing. Steaming or boiling instead of frying is to limit the amount of unhealthy fats in your diet.

Beans need to be cooked thoroughly to be easier to digest. Vegetables should be cut moderately, cooked thoroughly instead of simmering for too long. For cereals, whole grain oats or whole grains should be prioritized instead of refined products.

Therefore, the appropriate way is to gradually increase the amount of vegetables, beans and whole grains, and drink enough water. For people with digestive diseases or who are being asked by doctors to limit some types of fiber, the diet needs to be adjusted according to professional advice.

A fiber-rich dish will best be valued as part of a diverse, balanced and long-lasting diet.
