Gut health quickies: R is for the rebellious raspberry

These sophisticated, smooth talkers are often overlooked and under-appreciated.

The righteous raspberry is a colourful way to add fibre and variety to your plate.

That deep red colour comes from natural pigments called anthocyanins, which are part of what makes them so good-looking.

Stir them through a chia pudding, toss them on your porridge or eat them straight from the punnet.

Frozen raspberries count too, and they're handy to keep in the freezer for smoothies.

Should anyone here present know of any reason why the body and raspberries shouldn't be joined in holy fruity matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Want to sort your gut health out?

Raspberries are a tasty start, and a plan built around you takes it further.

You might be feeling:

• Sluggish, bloated or full of wind
• Tired and low on energy for much of the day
• Fed up with skin concerns such as acne, eczema or psoriasis

If that sounds familiar, swap Dr Google for a Brisbane-based naturopath who sees clients through online consultations, Australia-wide.

My gut health page explains how I work, and my page on IBS and bloating goes into more detail.
