Fermented Foods for Gut Health (Weight Loss)

If you are struggling with a bloated belly, constipation or are irregular you need fermented foods for gut health and weight loss.

Fermented foods are rich in live bacteria that replenish the microbiome, helping it maintain the right proportion of friendly bacteria for optimal health and weight loss. We think fermented foods are key to weight loss and being healthy. 80 percent of your immune system is in your microbiome, your body’s bacteria, which helps you digest your food, and best of all help with weight loss.
