While there are several types of foods you should avoid for healthy digestion, like processed, sugary snacks, there are also several ingredients you can incorporate into your daily diet to stay regular and keep everything running smoothly.

To discover some of the best foods you can eat every day for better digestion, we spoke to health experts Samantha Cassetty, MS, RD, nutrition advisor to siggi’s and co-author of Sugar Shock; Trista Best, RD for Balance One; and Lisa Richards, nutritionist and creator of The Candida Diet.

“One study found that eating six servings of fermented foods, like yogurt, per day led to better microbiome diversity and reduced markers of inflammation,” Cassetty says.

Just remember that buying raw and unpasteurized kimchi is your best bet for the gut-healthy benefits, as heat kills the probiotics.

"Antioxidants work to reduce free radical damage from toxins which lead to inflammation and chronic disease along with outward impacts like those associated with aging," she says.

At the end of the day, a healthy digestive system requires several different factors, from ample fiber to enough water and even to regular exercise–and if your gut health is off track for a reason you can’t pin down, talking to your doctor is always your best option.
