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,.

We add sauerkraut to salads and vegetables throughout the year. Sauerkraut increase the flavor and reduces any digestive problems.
