Your breakfast starter matters more than you think — it can transform your digestion

The Role of Gentle Fiber in the Morning

Fiber is essential for digestion, but too much too soon can cause bloating.

Gentle, soluble fiber helps:

• Wake up the gut
• Support regular bowel movements
• Feed beneficial gut bacteria

Examples:

• Oats
• Chia seeds (soaked)
• Soft fruits like banana or papaya

Heavy raw fiber first thing can overwhelm sensitive stomachs.

Protein as a Digestive Primer

Protein stimulates digestive enzymes and stabilizes blood sugar.

Even a small amount in the morning can:

• Improve digestion
• Reduce cravings
• Increase satiety

Good options include:

• Yogurt
• Eggs
• Nut butter
• Cottage cheese

You don’t need a large portion—just enough to signal balance.
