GUT CHECK: Eat probiotic-rich foods three days this week June 1-7, 2020.

 

A majority of the body's immune system is located in the gut. Deficiencies in good bacteria can inhibit the immune system from working at its best. The fix? Include probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kombucha, pickles and olives in your diet three days per week.

Today I ate just flavored oatmeal. But a few days ago, my husband bought blackberries and I ate 2 boxes of them in a week. Then he bought 1 blackberry and 1 blueberry box. 

 

We eat a salad almost every dinner, we have olives in them all the time, besides all the other fresh veggies. My husband has a big garden, I can't wait until stuff starts growing. 

 

I can't go out because I have COPD, asthma, and noncontagious TB so he does all the shopping,.

Get Your Probiotics On And Enjoy! Steel cut oats mixed with orange, pear, pineapple, wheat germ, chia seeds and cucumbers (yes, they're great!). Topped off with greek yogurt. Pro tip: What gives it a fresh zing? Lemon or lime zest. Cinnamon is great, too! Eat for breakfast and don't eat again until dinner; it's so filling!

 

Add lemon or lime zest for a fresh twist!Add any fruit (or vegetable) you like!A terrific breakfast ... or any meal!
