@thestomachdoc: Doctor’s perfect sweet potato recipe for gut health 🍠 Cut a sweet potato in half, add a little olive oil and black pepper, then place it cut-side down on parchment paper. Bake at 425°F for about 45 minutes until soft. Then comes the gut health trick: refrigerate it for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, reheat it and eat it. When the sweet potato cools, some of the starch turns into resistant starch. That resistant starch makes it farther down into your gut, where your good gut bacteria feed on it. It can also help add bulk to your stool and support more regular bowel movements. Sweet potatoes also contain soluble and insoluble fiber, which help soften stool, add bulk, and keep things moving. And they naturally contain mannitol, a sugar alcohol that can pull water into the intestines and may help soften stool and stimulate a bowel movement. Simple, cheap, gut-friendly, and one of my favorite foods to try when you’re constipated. #fitnessmeals #highproteinmeals #healthyrecipes
