Yogurt

Yogurt is one of the best sources of probiotics which is a gut-friendly bacteria. Yogurt drinks are also just as good but rather leave the full-fat or sugar-free versions and opt for the others as they are richer in probiotics. Yogurt that is high in sugar should not be chosen. This is why it is often advised to eat yogurt with medication, especially antibiotics. These probiotics strengthen your protective stomach lining.

Kefir

Kefir is a yogurt drink that is made with fermented milk. It can be used in smoothies, soups, and also in salad dressing. Try adding some lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a tasty dressing on any salad. It is loaded with probiotics and is taking gu health fanatics by storm. The origins of Kefir stem from both central Asia and Europe, Russia especially- this must be why they handle their vodka so well.

Sauerkraut

The finely chopped and fermented cabbage is a combination of roughage, fiber and probiotics. It is best to opt for a version that is not pickled in vinegar because the benefits are simply not the same. Who knew that the simple hot dog topping was a cheap source of probiotics and actually helping our gut in the long run.
