Probiotics are one of the most widely-used nutritional supplements. Sales of probiotic ingredients, supplements and foods are estimated to reach $38 billion this year.
And there is good reason for this growing popularity...
The microbes in your gut help digest your food. Their by-products include fatty acids, vitamins and other nutrients you cannot produce without their help. These microbes are critical to your immune system. And they can even affect how you think and your level of happiness!
It is truly amazing the roles that these "non-self" microbes play in our lives.
So it is important to make choices that support a healthy microbiome. This can include probiotic supplements. But with more than 7,000 results on Amazon alone how do you know which ones to take?
The key is to increase your critical "microbial diversity".
We often think of things like yogurt, kombucha and sauerkraut when we think of "probiotic foods." But did you know that fermented meats can also be an excellent source of beneficial microbes?
They also contain entirely different species from the foods listed above, which increases all-important diversity in your gut.
Not only are they a great source of billions of beneficial microbes - they are also addictively delicious!
