Broccoli
Broccoli contains sulforaphane, a compound that helps reduce inflammation and strengthen the protective barrier of the intestinal lining. According to American nutritionist Dr. Lisa Young (NYU), eating broccoli 3-4 times a week helps increase probiotic activity and reduce constipation thanks to its rich fiber content. Research at the University of Michigan also shows that this vegetable supports effective detoxification.
Spinach
Spinach provides soluble fiber, creating a favorable environment for probiotic growth. Stile kg helps increase stool volume, soften stools and help the bowel movements go more gently, says Dr. Megan Rossi (Kings College London). Vegetables are also rich in natural magnesium, which helps relax smooth digestive muscles."
Celery
Celery is famous for its ability to promote digestion thanks to its high water content and insoluble fiber. According to the British Nutrition Association (BDA), celery contains compounds that help neutralize stomach acid, thereby reducing bloating and reflux. This vegetable also helps "clear" the intestinal waste.
Asparagus
Asparagus is a natural prebiotic source rich in inulin, a nutrient that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Asparagus not only nourishes the microbiome but also helps reduce inflammation thanks to its powerful antioxidants, says American nutritionist Cynthia Sass. This vegetable helps reduce constipation and balance blood sugar."
