Feed your flora. Did you know that the human body has more bacteria cells than human cells? These bacteria help support good digestion, a strong immune system and healthy metabolism. Here are two simple ways you can keep your inner residents happy and healthy. First, eat a variety of fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, legumes (beans), fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The more variety the better. This nourishes greater diversity of bacteria which is important for overall health. Secondly, eat fermented foods such as yogurt, pickles, olives, miso, sauerkraut, kombucha, fermented vegetables and kefir. Food that add good bacteria into the diet support the resident colonies. Feeding your flora can be delicious and fun! Add fiber and fermented foods to each meal and snack.
