Foods to Eat for a Healthy Gut

5. Kimchi

Kimchi is another fermented food with high concentrations of live probiotics. The vegetables in kimchi provide plenty of fiber, and the fermentation process includes lactic acid bacteria that may promote immune function.

Although fish paste and other fish products are used in many traditional kimchi preparations, studies find that kimchi prepared with miso, or soy paste, has very similar probiotic content. This means vegans and vegetarians can also benefit from this food.
