Our digestion, to a great extent, is aided by different types of bacteria that line the intestine. These are the body’s normal flora, which regulate the digestion and absorption of nutrients, protect against influenza and carcinogens, and prepare certain vitamins. There are some foods that keep your gut bacteria well-fed, so you can benefit from their gut-friendly activities.

Bio-identical progesterone must not be confused with synthetic progestin. Synthetic progestin is not chemically identical to the progesterone produced in the body and has been linked to serious risks.

• Probiotics: Probiotics are foods such as yogurt that are a rich source of these bacteria. A regular intake is a simple and highly effective way of keeping your intestine in shape.
• Cruciferous vegetables: Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli are broken down by the normal flora to release a substance that can protect you against many cancers. Studies show that these leafy vegetables reduce your risk of colorectal cancer by 18%.
• Legumes: All members of the beans family help strengthen cells of the intestine, better absorb micronutrients, and aid in weight loss.
• Banana: This fruit maintains and restores health of the bacterial colonies and is usually recommended when you have an upset stomach.
