Even in your 60s and 70s, live a healthy life.
Renowned cooking expert Megumi Fujii shares her continuing “Gut Health” recipes.

“Gut health” is a lifestyle approach that has gained attention in recent years, aimed at maintaining a balanced gut environment, boosting immunity, and supporting everyday health. The basic principle in diet is to consume fermented foods that increase good bacteria, along with dietary fiber as their nutrient source, to stimulate gut function.

The author, Megumi Fujii, is a popular cooking expert and registered dietitian, born in 1966 (age 60). She has long offered recipes and advice to support gut health and has herself practiced meals that promote gut function.

However, as she aged, she realized that “letting your gut rest is also important.” Even foods that are good for your gut and body can become too much if everything is added at once, leading to overeating, tired stomachs, or decreased appetite.

Her new approach: eat meals that stimulate the gut in the morning and allow the gut to rest at night. By doing so, you wake up hungry and ready for a proper “gut health breakfast,” while the evening meal remains delicious without overloading your stomach.

In short, this is “Gut Health Meals for Adults.” It is packed with tips on ingredient choices, cooking methods, and seasoning techniques.

Megumi Fujii’s Gut Health Rules:

• Morning: “Fermented foods + dietary fiber” to activate the gut
• Evening: “Steam + simmer” for gentle, clear flavors
