Pineapple contains a digestive enzyme called bromelain, which helps the body break down protein that can cause stomach problems. The stem and core of the fruit contain the highest concentration of the enzyme, therefore, try juicing the core and drinking it solo or adding it to a smoothie.

As mentioned previously, potassium is a natural nutrient that aids in reducing stomach bloat and digestive issues. The potassium found in bananas regulates the body’s electrolyte levels and increases hydration, which counters the negative effects of processed foods. For example, sodium found in most processed foods, retains all the water in the body, whereas potassium has the reverse effect and hydrates the body.

The rock star of probiotics, kefir offers an incredible probiotic content compared to regular yogurt, as the fermented dairy product can pack up to twelve billion units of good bacteria for the gut in one eight-ounce serving. Probiotics help maintain and regulate a healthy digestive system as they contain ‘the healthy bacteria’ the digestive system needs, which can result in less gas and bloat found in the digestive tract, and less pain for the patient. Kefir also makes a wonderful addition to a smoothie due to its creamy and smooth texture, or it can be consumed as it is.
