Good gut health starts with what’s on your plate – and no, that doesn’t mean cutting out gluten, dairy or all your favourite foods. In fact, “Eliminating foods like gluten or dairy without cause can harm your gut,” says NHS doctor and MasterChef winner Dr Saliha Mahmood-Ahmed. Instead, she encourages a much more joyful approach: “Aim for 30 different plants a week, use herbs and spices freely, and prioritise fibre.”
To help make that easier (and more delicious), Dr Saliha has teamed up with Yakult to create a trio of vibrant, flavour-packed recipes designed for summer. Built around plant diversity, fibre and ease, these dishes aren’t just good for your microbiome – they’re genuinely worth getting excited about.
