Do you consume probiotic-rich foods?
Fermented foods contain beneficial bacteria which are essential for a healthy gut. 🦠
They have many benefits to our gut and overall health.
✔️ Strengthens the immune system
✔️Assists with digestion
✔️Increased energy from the production of vitamin B12
✔️Prevents colds and flu
✔️Helps to heal leaky gut and IBD
Here are some of my favourites:
✨Coconut Milk Kefir: Fermented juice of young coconuts that has a delicious flavour. Helps to boost the immune system and assist with digestion.
✨Sauerkraut: Fermented cabbage and can also contain other vegetables too. It contains high amounts of organic acids which help to support the growth of good bacteria. It is also high in digestive enzymes.
✨Kombucha: Fermented black tea using a SCOBY (bacteria and yeast). Kombucha supports digestion, increases energy and liver detoxification. It is important to look for low sugar kombucha.
✨Kimchi: Similar to sauerkraut but is a Korean take on fermented vegetables. It contains Chinese cabbage, spices, red pepper flakes, radishes, carrots, garlic, ginger, onion and fish sauce.
✨Pickles: Fermented cucumbers. The pickles in the grocery store are most-likely not truly fermented. If the jar contains white vinegar this is not a fermented product and it will not have the probiotic benefits.
Do you eat fermented foods? Which one is your favourite? If you haven’t tried them, which one are you going to try first?
