Have you heard of the super-foods that are excellent for your gut, immunity, heart, and even uplift your mood?
Yes, there is a kind of food that promotes the ‘happiness hormone - serotonin’ in your body while giving a host of other health benefits. The fermented foods and beverages. They add ‘good bacteria’ to the microbiota of your gut. Your gut bacteria produce around 95% of your body’s Serotonin - a neurotransmitter involved in the elevation of mood, regulating stress, and maintaining mental health. So, the next time you feel like stress-eating, reach out for that jar of kombucha or kefir!
Fermented Foods Are The Probiotic Powerhouses:
Great For Digestive Health: During the process of fermentation ‘probiotics’ are produced. When you eat fermented foods, you supply these probiotics to your gut and maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in there. Research says that probiotics (fermented foods) can alleviate IBS, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and bloating.
Good For Immunity: Do you know that your gut and immune system are linked? To be precise, almost 70% of your immune system is located in your gut. An imbalance of gut microbiota can lead to lowered immunity and even autoimmune disorders. Probiotics strengthen the gut-lining (inner wall or mucosa), a natural barrier against microbes, and keep up the count of the good bacteria over harmful bacteria.
Improve Nutrient Absorption: Fermented foods produce enzymes that help make nutrients from your regular food more bio-available, hence increasing their absorption. Fermentation also breaks down the nutrients present in food into easily digestible compounds.
Some of the potential benefits of fermented foods include lowered risk of heart diseases, better mental health and weight loss.
Fermented foods have made a ‘comeback’ in the food limelight recently. Though they have been around for ages in a number of cultures around the world, fermented foods have been rediscovered by food aficionados and nutrition experts in diverse ways, and a range of recipes.
World cuisine has a lot to offer when it comes to fermented foods - Kombucha, Kefir, Kimchi, Saurkraut, Miso, Tempeh, and many more. Back home (Indian cuisines) we have been making idlis, dosas, yogurt, kanji, and khaman as traditional fermented foods.
“Fermented foods are the healthiest, delicious, and most nutrient-dense foods in the world!”
