Great info on fermented foods. You don't need to add much cultured food to your diet to improve your digestion and consequently, your overall health. One thing that many do not realise is that fermented foods are some of the best chelators available. The beneficial bacteria in these foods are very potent detoxifiers, capable of drawing out a wide range of toxins and heavy metals. Really anything equal to a teaspoonful at each meal will do the trick. Some simple ways of adding these foods are
- Natto (available from Asian stores generally in freezer area) Do throw away the sachets as they contain all the nasties
- Kombucha
- Miso (use as warm drink or add to soups or stir fries)
- Home made or purchase raw sauerkraut (in Brisbane purchase PEACE, LOVE AND VEGETABLES from health food stores or Northey St Markets)
- Yogurt (using either raw, grass-fed milk, or store-bought organic, full fat milk if you cannot find raw milk) and whey and buttermilk (not commercial)
