Prevent Bloating with this Arugula Salad
Bitter herbs such as arugula, dandelion, and mustard greens are incredibly powerful for your gut health. Their bitterness helps our body produce stomach acid, enzymes, and bile, all necessary for proper digestion. Having an arugula salad right before the main course of a meal will allow your body to prep for digestion and likely prevent or decrease bloating.
The best part? It’s incredibly easy. It’s all about the dressing!
