Autumn smoothie: Good for immunity and the gut
This autumn warming smoothie is a blend of ingredients that promote gut health and strengthen the body. It includes kefir, which supports digestive tract function, aids regular bowel movements, reduces bloating, and enhances intestinal motility. Regular consumption of kefir can help balance the gut's bacterial flora, positively impacting both digestive health and overall immunity.
A key ingredient in this autumn smoothie is pumpkin, an autumn staple. Due to its dietary fiber, pumpkin helps prevent constipation and lower blood cholesterol levels. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Furthermore, flaxseed helps reduce inflammation and regulates intestinal peristalsis. For best absorption, use freshly ground flaxseed; avoid pre-ground flaxseed and grind the seeds just before consuming.
