It’s interesting because I always used to think foods like plain Yoghurt, Sauerkraut and Kombucha were strange foods that didn’t really appeal to me at all. They either smelt far too strong or tasted pretty bad. But now that my journey of health has matured over the years and along with my knowledge of the health benefits of fermented foods, I now actively consume them on a daily basis. Lacto fermentation is when natural bacteria feed on sugar and starch from the food which then develops lactic acid.

This enables the food to be preserved offering wonderful health benefits such as, enzymes, b-vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and of course the health boosting probiotics for the body. Along with the power punching health benefits it will also improve your body’s digestion, because it helps to break down the foods whilst also retaining the nutrients because of the fermentation process. So no going back now for me….why don’t you try to make fermented foods one of your daily dietary habits and enjoy the exceptional rewards your digestion system will receive and the overall health your body will love!

I agree Michelle as I come from a Southern-Eastern European background and fermented foods were a part of my daily diet growing up. My partner, who also comes from the same background but did not eat those type of foods because his family decided to eat predominantly fast food and other convenient products, has ended up with a inflammation in his colon. I really believe because of this diet, and the absense of natural bacteria to counteract, at least, what he was eating, has led to the disease.
