Why This Is Good for Your Gut
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, which have been shown to help reduce gut inflammation and support a more diverse, balanced microbiome. Broccoli contains sulforaphane, a compound that may help protect the gut lining and support beneficial bacterial populations. Ginger's gingerol content can help soothe digestion and reduce bloating.
