Gut health isn’t just about what you eat - it’s also about what you drink. Nutritionist Lauren Manaker, writing for Health, recommends 9 powerful drinks that improve digestion, balance your microbiome, and reduce inflammation.

Top picks include kefir, a fermented milk packed with probiotics and bioactive compounds, and kombucha, a fizzy tea rich in antioxidants and gut-friendly bacteria.

Other standouts include beetroot juice (great for blood flow and liver health), Jun (a gentler kombucha made with honey), and prune juice, known for preventing constipation.

Herbal options like ginger tea and peppermint tea soothe digestion and reduce bloating, while apple cider vinegar supports enzymes and gut acidity balance. Finally, the popular turmeric latte contains curcumin - an anti-inflammatory powerhouse.

These drinks go beyond trendy - they’re backed by science to help support gut health naturally. Still, consult a healthcare professional before making major dietary changes.
