Give your gut bacteria some TLC

Our gut bacteria produce many of our ‘happy hormones’ including serotonin and dopamine- in fact, over 90% of our serotonin is made in our gut! A healthy gut is able to produce the highest amounts of the ‘happy hormones’ dopamine and serotonin which can then go on to positively influence our brain/mood. An unhealthy gut on the other hand is likely to produce lower amounts of mood-elevating neurotransmitters and this can go on to negatively impact mood. That why nurturing our gut bacteria is key! You can start by feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut by eating more fibre rich foods such as pears, beans, asparagus, bananas, leeks and carrots. It’s also worth adding probiotics (good bacteria) found in fermented vegetables like kimchi to help support a healthy gut microbiome.
Raw, vegan kimchi with a twist is a delightful dish that will leave your taste buds craving for more. This homemade recipe is made with shiso leaves, which are a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine and are known for their unique taste. The leaves add a refreshing and subtle minty flavor to the dish, making it stand out from the traditional kimchi.

To make this dish, you will need fresh and organic vegetables such as napa cabbage, carrots, scallions, and garlic. These ingredients are combined with a mixture of spices including chili flakes, ginger, and sea salt to create a tangy and spicy taste that is synonymous with kimchi.

The magic of this recipe lies in the addition of shiso leaves. These leaves are rich in antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory properties and are known to improve digestion. They not only add a unique flavor to the dish but also enhance its nutritional value.

The best part about this recipe is that it is vegan and raw, meaning that all the nutrients and enzymes are preserved in the dish. This makes it a great option for anyone looking for a healthy and flavourful dish.
