Gut Health + Belly ache = Solution
This year the strawberry season is already here. It’s incredible how great the weather has been the last few months. However, this weekend I managed to eat a little bit too many strawberries, and because of that, I had a belly ache.
Whenever I feel like there’s something wrong with my gut, then my solution is always tea or broth. Usually, I eat some bone broth or just a vegetable broth. It’s amazing how beneficial one bowl of warm broth can be.
Why do I like broth? My excuse
- It builds strength when your gut is fighting with food sensitivities.
- Helps to grow probiotics that are one of the most essential for good bacterias in your gut health.
- Supports healthy inflammation levels in the digestive tract.
- Makes sure that you will have a healthy skin because of the collagen in the bone broth.
- Supports healthy immune system.
- Helps the body with detox by promoting the liver’s ability to remove toxins.
Special equipment or other option ….
If you don’t have a vegetable spiralizer, then you can always use your usual vegetable peeler and make zucchini tagliatelle. However, if you like healthy cooking, then I really recommend you to buy one. It actually doesn’t matter what kind of spiralizer you buy as long as it works.
I have tried different ones and I think that they are all quite similar. Just different prices but the zoodles will always look the same.
