Many probiotic foods naturally contain helpful bacteria, such as yogurt.
A high quality, plain yogurt with live cultures can be a fantastic addition to your diet if you want to add beneficial bacteria.
Fermented foods are another great option, as they contain beneficial bacteria that thrive on the naturally occurring sugar or fiber in the food.
Examples of fermented foods include:
- sauerkraut
- kimchi
- kombucha tea
- kefir (dairy and nondairy)
- some types of pickles (unpasteurized)
- other pickled vegetables (unpasteurized)
