Probiotic foods
All disease begins in the gut, said Hippocrates approximately 2,000 years ago. Certain foods can soothe and tone the digestive tract.
If you’ve watched any commercials lately, you know there’s a frenzied buzz about probiotics. If you’ve got the impression that you have to eat yogurt or dairy products to give your gut a happy dance, then you should attend this call and find out what the world of raw and living food probiotics is all about.
Vibrant health starts in your gut. And making foods that support a “healthy critter” environment down there is vital. Many recent studies on gut flora and its importance are even getting noticed mainstream circles. Choosing foods that will nourish your “friendly flora” may even control your tendency to become overweight!
If you want to build a healthy gut microbiome, eating fermented food is essential. These digestive foundational rockstars are way more potent than taking probiotic supplements because they contain a rich variety of organisms not found in capsules. You don’t have to be an expert in fermentation to create simple, easy and scrumptious meals that will give you a strong and robust microbiome. Your gut is where good health begins!
