FERMENTED FOODS - HAPPY GUT

Did you know, that 70-80% of immune system cells are found in the gut. 
Besides, healthy gut supports weight loss, boosts energy levels, lowers cholesterol, improves mood and mental health, reduces yeast infections, improves digestive health, oral health and skin health. And the list goes on! 

One way to improve and maintain your gut microbiota is to include fermented foods into your diet. 

Most common and easily accessible  fermented foods are:

💥Saurekraut 
💥Kimchi

💥Sourdough bread

Lavender Kombucha is my fave!
