2. Nattō: This traditional Japanese food is made from fermented whole soybeans and is rich in protein and gut-friendly enzymes. Nattō supports digestive health and can easily be incorporated into your meals.

3. Hummus: Packed with healthy fats and fiber, hummus helps regulate blood sugar levels by aiding in the absorption of sugars. It adds a creamy texture and a nutty flavor to your meal.

4. Seaweed: An excellent source of minerals, especially iodine, seaweed enhances your dish’s nutrient profile while adding a unique umami flavour.

5. Pickles and Red Sauerkraut: Both are rich in probiotics and enzymes that support gut health, making them a smart addition to this balanced meal.

6. Salad Greens: These will serve as a fresh and crunchy base along with acting as a blood tonic, ensuring you get plenty of vitamins and minerals.

7. Carrots and Their Greens: Carrots provide sweetness and crunch, while the greens offer additional nutrients and flavour.
