Your gut microbiome thrives on diverse bacteria and microbes, especially beneficial strains. These proven foods help maintain optimal balance:
1. Probiotic foods
Yogurt and unpasteurized cheese deliver live beneficial bacteria and yeasts.
2. Olive oil, nuts, and seeds
Ideal nourishment to cultivate healthy microbes.
3. Fermented foods
Sauerkraut, tempeh, sourdough bread, miso, and chutney. Fermentation improves digestibility, enhances immunity, and lets you make your own at home.
4. Beans and whole grains
Rich in fiber, proteins, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins to fuel gut health.
5. Homemade kefir
Resembling yogurt, kefir uses grains of bacteria and yeasts. Prepare it easily for breakfast, desserts, or smoothies. More about kefir.
