Now you might be asking: why should I eat fermented foods when prebiotic and probiotic supplements are available on the market? Shouldn’t I just take a probiotic?
Answer: Most of the time probiotic pills aren’t necessary for everyone and anyone.
Probiotics are a type of “good” bacteria that keep your gut healthy. They can be found in some fermented foods containing active live cultures, like yogurt.
How often should you eat fermented foods? Eating fermented foods daily will strengthen your immune system, reduce bloating, control weight, and will help many digestive issues.
If you are new to eating fermented foods start with 1 tablespoon of sauerkraut or 1 pickle a day. Work your way up to eating them daily with every meal.
- Eating sauerkraut will not only improve your gut bacteria, but will improve your brain function.

In an early proof-of-concept study, UCLA researchers found that women who regularly consumed probiotics through yogurt showed altered brain function while in a resting state and in response to an emotion-recognition task.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans conducted both before and after the four-week study period looked at the women’s brains in a state of rest and in response to an emotion-recognition task in which they viewed a series of pictures of people with angry or frightened faces and matched them to other faces showing the same emotions.
The researchers were surprised to find that the brain effects could be seen in many areas, including those involved in sensory processing and not merely those associated with emotion. Research learned that signals are sent from the intestine to the brain and that they can be modulated by a dietary change.
