PROBIOTICS
MISO SOUP FOR ACTIVE DIGESTION
A popular breakfast
food in Japan, this fermented soybean paste really can get your digestive
system moving. Probiotic-filled miso reportedly contains more than 160 bacteria
strains. It's often used to make a salty soup that is low in calories and high
in B vitamins and protective antioxidants.
SOURDOUGH BREAD AIDS DIGESTION
The next time you make
a sandwich, pay attention to what's holding your cold cuts and cheese. San
Francisco's famous sourdough bread contains lactobacilli, a probiotic that may
benefit digestion.
PROBIOTICS IN SOUR PICKLES
When looking to
pickles for probiotics, choose naturally fermented varieties where vinegar
wasn't used in the pickling process. A sea salt and water solution encourages
the growth of beneficial bacteria and may give sour pickles some digestive
benefits.
SOFT CHEESES FIGHT BACTERIA
While potentially good
for your digestion, not all probiotics can survive the journey through your
gastrointestinal tract. But research finds the lactobacillus strains in some fermented soft cheeses, like
Gouda, are hardy enough to survive. In addition, cheese may act as a carrier
for probiotics, which may boost the immune system.
SAUERKRAUT BOOSTS DIGESTION
Sauerkraut contains
the probiotics leuconostoc, pediococcus, and lactobacillus. Choose
unpasteurized sauerkraut because pasteurization (used to treat most supermarket
sauerkraut) kills the helpful bacteria. Sauerkraut -- and the similar but spicy
Korean dish kimchi -- is also loaded with vitamins that may help ward off
infection.
MILK
WITH PROBIOTICS
One of the easiest
ways to get probiotics in your diet is by adding acidophilus milk. This is
simply milk that has been fermented with bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus. Sometimes
it's labeled sweet acidophilus milk. Buttermilk -- generally milk that is
cultured with lactic acid bacteria -- is also rich in probiotics.
HONEY PREBIOTICS VS. PROBIOTICS
While probiotic-foods
contain live bacteria, prebiotic foods feed the good bacteria already living in
your digestive system. You can find prebiotics in foods such as asparagus,
Jerusalem artichokes, bananas, oatmeal, red wine, honey, maple syrup, and
legumes. Consider eating prebiotic foods on their own or with probiotic foods
to perhaps give the probiotics a boost.
TRY TEMPEH FOR PROBIOTICS
Made from a base of
fermented soybeans, this Indonesian patty produces a type of natural antibiotic
that fights certain bacteria. In addition, tempeh is very high in protein. Its
flavor has often been described as smoky, nutty, and similar to a mushroom. Tempeh
can be marinated and used in meals in place of meat.
