What does it mean when we say that fermented foods are good for your 'gut health'?

Gut health refers to the balance of microorganisms that live in the digestive tract. These bacteria, yeasts, and viruses- of which there are around 100 trillion, are also called the "gut microbiome" or "gut flora." Many microbes are beneficial for human health, and some are even essential.

The gut microbiome plays a very important role in your health by helping control digestion and benefiting your immune system and many other aspects of health.

Largely responsible for the critical functions of the body's digestive and immune systems, beneficial bacteria in your digestive system have the capability of affecting your body's vitamin and mineral absorbency, hormone regulation, digestion, vitamin production, immune response, and ability to eliminate toxins.

We make our own #Kombucha which is a light refreshing drink that can be made in a variety of flavors. Please check out many of our previous posts to see how we make it.
