Week 1 Healthy Eating Contest 2020: Gut Check

AARPTeri — Fri, 29 May 2020 11:26:37 GMT

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.

Kefir! I'm very impressed. How did you get a starter bacteria or whatever is needed to make it?

I drink kefir daily, but I always buy it.....would love to try to make it myself. Kudos to you!

I got the starter from a friend, and I'm happy to share starter - but you would need to live near me, in the Pittsburgh area.

Freezing miso in small containers allows me to defrost just what I need for a probiotic rich sauce or salad dressing.

I eat at least three fruits each day with applesauce and yogurt with my oatmeal.

For my afternoon snack I generally have hummus with sun chips and ice tea (warm and cold)

I eat plenty of homemade garden salad with my evening dinner meal.
