Mushroom and Bean Burgers
These veggie-filled burgers are packed with 14g fibre, from 9 different plants. This means we’re getting many different types of fibre, to feed healthy bacteria in our gut. Including different sources of fibre can increase diversity of your gut microbiota, improve constipation, enhance immune function and reduce inflammation in the gut. To help keep a healthy home for your gut microbes, choose vitamin D-enriched mushrooms (check the label!), or you can even pop them out in the sunlight for 15 minutes to increase their vitamin D content before you eat them! Vitamin D plays an important role in normal immune function, but there is also some evidence to show that deficiency may cause damage and inflammation to our gut lining.
