’ Dr Karan Rajan further noted down a few food items that can help us hit the daily protein intake, boost production of beneficial bacteria in the gut and reduce gut inflammation. Nutritional yeast: In the video, Dr Karan Rajan said that nutritional yeasts are loaded with high protein. Two tablespoon of nutritional yeast contains 8 grams of protein.
Nutritional yeast also contains a type of probiotic fibre that's highly fermentable, known as beta-glucans. This can lead to more production of anti-inflammatory compounds in the gut. Nutritional yeast is loaded with Vitamin B that can support the growth of cells in the gut lining.
For boosting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, add it to soup, salad or pasta. ALSO READ: Cracking the code to living longer: Eat more protein. Study explains how it works Greek yoghurt: Dr .
