You don’t need expensive drugs to keep your stomach clean. Sometimes the answer is already in your kitchen.
As a mama of 4, I’ve learned that cheap Nigerian foods can do wonders for our body. Here are 7 of them:
1. WATER
Free and powerful. Drinking water first thing in morning flushes waste. Aim for 8 cups daily. Your stomach will thank you.
2. PAWPAW
Ripe pawpaw is sweet and soft on the stomach. It has enzymes that break down food and stop constipation. Even babies can eat it.
3. UGU/FLUTED PUMPKIN LEAVES
This green leaf is blood tonic and cleans your system. Cook it light - don’t overcook. Add to soup or eat as vegetable.
4. GARLIC + GINGER
Small but mighty. Boil small garlic and ginger, drink the water at night. It fights bad bacteria in your belly. My grandma’s secret.
5. OKRA
That “draw” you see is fiber. It helps food move smoothly in your body. No more struggling on the toilet.
6. OGBONO
The seeds are full of fiber. Ogbono soup fills you up and keeps your digestion moving.
7. EWEDU
Light, soft, and easy to digest. Perfect for days when your stomach is acting up.
