3. lots of vegetables and fruit (keep skin on fruit and veg) – especially raw leafy greens – eating raw is very beneficial to your digestive system so have raw every day if you can.
4. probiotics – good natural live yoghurt, organic miso, sauerkraut, tofu…. fermenting foods are so important to support your immune system, help heal, repair and aid digestion
