Why Eat Fermented Foods?
The single most important reason is to keep your digestive system happy! There is a war going on in your intestines every single day and you want the good guys to win! Friendly bacteria do many wonderful things for our health. It aids digestion, increases vitamin and enzyme content, facilitates assimilation of nutrients and even releases the trace mineral Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) chromium. GTF compound improves sensitivity to insulin for pre-diabetic and diabetic people.
Fermented foods colonize the intestinal tract with friendly gut flora which control putrefactive bacteria. It maintains proper pH balance in the colon and increases the bulk and frequency of bowel movements. This flora creates a living shield that covers the small intestines inner lining and helps inhibit pathogenic organisms. Most fermented foods create powerful antioxidants including the all-important glutathione and superoxide dismustase, which scavenge free radicals that can be a causal factor in cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
A little recognized benefit is healthy gut flora also transitions the inactive thyroid hormone T-4 into active T-3, which is important for energy, weight loss and healthy metabolism.
