Today is national cheese toastie day! 🙂
A yummy treat to have occasionally, but not a nutritionally complete one as it lacks fiber, many vitamins and is high in saturated fat.
How to improve its nutritional value?
*Try to use whole grain instead of white bread for extra fiber. Fiber is essential for gut health and glucose balance.
*Alternatively try sourdough bread, which is easier to digest. The slow natural fermentation makes fiber and micronutrients in the bread more bioavailable.
*Add kimchi to your cheese toastie – it is amazingly tasty. Being a naturally fermented product, kimchi can support gut health and many body functions such as food assimilation, immunity, hormonal balance and weight management.
*Have a rocket salad as a side. Bitter greens can stimulate bile production, useful as bile aid in the digestion and processing of fats (cheese has a high percentage of fat).
No food is right or wrong – healthy nutrition is in balance and making the most of the foods we love!

For many people, a stomach bug is something unpleasant but temporary. A few days of digestive upset, perhaps some fatigue, and then life returns to normal. But for others, the story doesn’t end there. Weeks or even months later, something still doesn’t feel right. Digestion is different. Foods that were once well tolerated now trigger…
