The Top Fermented Foods For Gut Health!
A healthy gut or Microbiome has been in the news the past 10 years and if you
want a healthier gut, then you should add more fermented foods to your daily
menus.
Fermented foods include those that are either made with or contain live active
bacteria.
Not sure which fermented foods are the best?
No problem, here are the 8 best.
a) Sauerkraut-
Along with yogurt, it (sauerkraut) is the most popular fermented food in the U.S.
b) Kombucha-
It’s a carbonated, fermented beverage.
c) Kimchi-
This is a spicy form of cabbage and it’s as popular in Korean households
as sauerkraut is here in the U.S.
d) Tempeh-
Similar to tofu. It’s a plant-based protein made from fermented soybeans.
e) Kefir-
Popular in a lot of Scaninavian countries, this fermented dairy product
is gaining in popularity here in the U.S.
f) Yogurt-
The amount of yogurt eaten by Americans should really help our guts, but
we usually buy the cheaper, less beneficial kind. For better gut health you
should eat top quality plain yogurt (add your own fruit) and make sure it
says “live active cultures” on the label.
g) Miso and Natto-
Popular in Japanese households, Natto consists of whole fermented soy
beans and miso is a smooth paste made from fermented soybeans.
h) Apple Cider Vinegar-
Used as a salad dressing ingredient or taken as a shot early in the morning,
A.C.V. is just fermented apple juice. For the best type of A.C.V. look for a
cloudy residue at the bottom of the bottle.
