Gut Health

Fermented Foods

Fermented foods are excellent for our overall health and especially our gut health which impacts our microbiome. Microbiome is just a fancy word for the bacteria that live in our bodies and are essential to our immune system. 

One of the best fermented foods you can eat for your gut health is Sauerkraut.  The fermented food is a natural probiotic and it is cheap, natural, and tasty.  Our stomach and digestive system is key to breaking down our food and having those nutrients flow to our cells, tissues, and organs. The digestive process is aided by good bacteria which strengthens the overall immune system. 

You could say that a strong immune system starts with gut health. There are many other fermented foods to add to your eating plan like Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemons/limes, bone broth, kombucha, kimchi, even a little red wine. Fermented foods have all the beneficial prebiotics and probiotics that aid in digestion, elimination, and promoting a strong robust immune system. 

High fiber foods such as leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits, and berries are a power foods that are excellent for our colon and intestinal health. 

Try and incorporate fermented foods into your overall nutrition plan it may just be one of the best overall health steps you can take. 

To Your Health!
