1. Dietary fiber duet

Sweet potato is rich in soluble dietary fiber, which can form gel like substances in the intestinal tract; Pumpkin provides a large amount of insoluble fiber, and the combination of the two is like a natural intestinal "broom". Sweet potatoes contain 3 grams of fiber per 100 grams, while pumpkins contain about 2.8 grams, far exceeding ordinary vegetables.

The amylase in pumpkin can break down complex carbohydrates, while the mucin protein in sweet potatoes can protect the gastric mucosa. This synergistic effect allows food residues to pass through the digestive tract more smoothly.

1. Steaming and cooking to preserve nutrients

Cut sweet potatoes and pumpkins into pieces and steam them for 15 minutes in water to maximize the retention of dietary fiber. After steaming, drizzle a little flaxseed oil to increase the absorption rate of fat soluble nutrients by three times.

Mix steamed ingredients with an appropriate amount of warm water to make a paste, sprinkle chia seeds to increase omega-3 content. Drinking a bowl in the morning and evening in autumn can warm the stomach and gently stimulate intestinal peristalsis.

Cut thin slices and brush with olive oil. Bake at 180 ℃ for 20 minutes until the edges are slightly charred. The baking process produces resistant starch, which is the favorite "food" of gut probiotics.
