Because probiotics are good for the immune system.
There are more and more people suffering from intestinal problems that seem related to an excessive consumption of processed foods. These are foods that tend to damage the intestinal bacterial flora.
Now, since it is estimated that about 70 percent of our immune system is located right in the intestine, it is well understood how anything that damages the intestinal flora can also affect the immune system.
And here probiotics come into play: these are essentially foods that contain microorganisms that help rebalance the intestinal flora and therefore consuming them can also be good for the immune system.
Because probiotics are good for the immune system
Below we offer a list of seven foods rich in probiotics that can be good for both the intestine and the immune system.
One. The kombucha. It is prepared by fermentation of tea added with a mixture of bacteria and yeasts. What you get is a carbonated drink that contains vitamins, enzymes and probiotics. It can improve digestion, shock the immune system and soothe joint pain.
Two. Kimchi. It is a Korean dish made with cabbage and spicy sauce. It is rich in beta carotene, calcium, iron and vitamins.
Three. Miso. It is fermented soybeans. It helps regulate the digestive system and can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Four. The Yogurt. The home-made one would be preferred, but in the absence of it, the industrial ones are also fine. Excellent after a cure with antibiotics.
Five. Kefir. It is a fermented dairy product that looks a lot like yogurt. Contains vitamin B12, calcium, folic acid and magnesium.
Six. Tempeh. Originally from Indonesia, it is obtained by fermentation from the seeds of yellow soybeans. It is used as a meat substitute in vegetarian diets because it is rich in protein. It is also rich in calcium.
Seven. Sourdough bread. The bacteria that are in the dough of this bread make it an excellent probiotic.
