HEALTH & NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK:
- From our club dietitian
Look after your gut: The majority of your immune system is located in your gut - keeping your gut healthy and maintaining the integrity of the mucosal barrier is critical for health, but also mental wellbeing, mood and cognitive function. Include probiotics (such as kombucha, yogurt, kefir, kim-chee, miso) to encourage a healthy gut microbiome as well as prebiotics (green bananas, plantains, onions, garlic, resistant starches).
