With all the food news that surrounds us every day, it can be hard to know what\u2019s good, solid advice and what\u2019s nothing more than the latest fad.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

While there are certainly foods that pack a stronger nutrient punch than others, are there really foods that we should stay away from altogether? And if so, which ones?<\/p>\n

Focusing on eating whole, close-to-the-source fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/strong> is always a good idea. But another rising trend has believers reaching for the cabbage and cucumbers\u2014in pickled form\u2014as well as cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, miso, yogurt, and more.<\/p>\n

The trend focuses on eating fermented food for its probiotic properties. According to one study on the benefits of eating fermented food,<\/p>\n

\u201cRecent scientific investigation has supported the important role of probiotics as a part of a healthy diet for human as well as for animals and may be an avenue to provide a safe, cost effective, and ‘natural’ approach that adds a barrier against microbial infection.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Fermented foods start out as whole foods you\u2019re used to\u2014like milk and cabbage\u2014but they undergo a lacto-fermentation process to become something new. This new form of food breaks food down into a more digestable form, which is good news for your intestines.<\/p>\n

So, consuming probiotics in the form of fermented food can protect you and your family against disease. They help the beneficial organisms in your intestines digest food. And studies are now being done on the use of probiotics for a wide range of purposes including oral health, acne and rosacea, and in early childhood as prevention against asthma.<\/p>\n

Probiotics are available in many different kinds of foods. Try adding some of these foods to your diet on a regular basis, keeping in mind that some are more nutritious than others. You probably recognize many of them:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
