Foods to Eat for a Healthy Gut

4. Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is rapidly gaining a reputation as a probiotic superfood. It's not easy to quantify the health benefits of sauerkraut because each preparation of the fermented food may contain varying amounts and types of probiotics. However, there are advantages of eating fermented foods instead of relying on supplements with carefully measured probiotic content.

A batch of sauerkraut may contain up to 28 strains of bacteria, which is significantly more variety than most supplements can provide. Probiotics from fermented food are also more likely to grow and thrive in the intestines than probiotics in supplements.
