Rainbow Salad

The rainbow salad is a great way to ensure adequate fibre, a variety of polyphenols and high antioxidant levels. I recommend to have a version of this ever day for lunch or dinner with some protein.

A variety of vegetables (and fruits and whole grains) is important for healthy gut bacteria and a balanced microbiome. Beneficial bacteria love feeding on the fibres of vegetables, a high fibre diet is key for gut health.

if you struggle with fibre in your diet and react it’s because you have a damaged gut and need to heal.
