Take 2 tbsp fermented foods for gut health
Why it matters
Fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, or miso contain probiotic bacteria that help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. They strengthen the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and support immunity. Low microbial diversity has been linked to digestive issues, allergies, and even mood changes. Adding these foods to your diet can improve digestion, lower inflammation, and enhance your body’s defenses
How to do it
- Add 2 tbsp of sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt, or miso to a meal
- Choose products with no added sugar

Mechanism & Key fact
Fermented foods contain probiotics — live bacteria that help keep your gut microbiome balanced and diverse. These bacteria produce beneficial compounds called short-chain fatty acids, which reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut’s protective lining, and support communication between the gut and brain. Even just 2 tbsp daily of fermented foods can increase microbiota diversity by 20–30%, which has been linked to better immune function, lower risk of inflammatory conditions, and improved digestion. Including fermented foods regularly may also support vitamin and mineral absorption, help regulate mood, and contribute to overall well-being, making them a simple yet powerful addition to your daily routine
