When your gut isn’t feeling great, you generally don’t feel like eating. However, your body still needs nutrients to keep your strength up and have the energy it requires to fight that virus or bug. Here are our top foods to soothe an upset stomach, according to the world-famous personal trainer, author, and entrepreneur Kayla Itsines:
1. Bananas
Bananas are easy to digest and rich in potassium, a nutrient your body loses through vomiting and diarrhoea.
Bananas also contain pectin, which can help to firm up your stool if you are experiencing diarrhoea.
2. Ginger
Fresh ginger can help ease a sore stomach and nausea, as well as boost the immune system.
3. Papaya
Another great fruit to eat when you have an unhappy stomach is papaya, as it is full of proteolytic enzymes, which aid digestion and soothe the stomach by promoting a healthy acidic environment.
4. Mint
Throw some fresh, torn mint leaves into a glass of water to combat bloating and ease an upset stomach.
5. Yoghurt
Natural, unsweetened yoghurt can help restore the balance of good bacteria in your stomach and aid digestion.
Lastly, take Releaf Truzara, a herbal supplement with antispasmodic effects believed to alleviate diarrhoea, reduce bowel mobility and ease stomach cramps associated with gastric disorders.
