The healthy bacteria<\/a>\u00a0in your gut plays an important role in your digestive health. It can ward off diseases, clear up acne, ease symptoms of asthma, improve brain function, help you maintain a healthy body weight, and the list goes on.<\/p>\n

While taking a probiotic supplement is a good way to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, eating foods rich in natural probiotics is key to keeping the good bugs flourishing. On that note, we’re highlighting five gut-healthy foods below.<\/p>\n

Miso<\/strong>
\nThis Japanese paste is most often found in soup, but can actually be used in a lot of creative ways<\/a>\u00a0in the kitchen. It\u2019s a natural probiotic made of fermented soybeans and is also high in calcium, magnesium, iron, and protein. Try adding miso to a creamy tahini salad dressing<\/a> or even using it to amp up your typical\u00a0peanut butter and jelly sandwich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sauerkraut<\/strong>
\nYou’ve seen it on Reubens, hot dogs, and Russian dressing \u2013 sauerkraut might sound like a diner or carnival food option, but it actually full of healthy gut bacteria. The cabbage in sauerkraut<\/a> is fermented with lactic acid, making it a strong source of natural probiotics. It\u2019s also high in fiber. From casseroles and meatballs to chocolate cake, there are plenty of interesting ways<\/a> to add more sauerkraut to your meals.<\/p>\n

Kombucha<\/strong>
\nThis naturally fizzy drink is also naturally full of healthy gut microbiomes. Kombucha<\/a> is fermented green tea that can be found at virtual any grocery store these days, but it\u2019s also easier than you might think to make at home<\/a>. Aside from all the probiotics, kombucha<\/a> is high in vitamins, essential minerals, and organic acids.<\/p>\n

Kefir<\/strong>
\nKefir contains a specific strain of probiotics called Lactobacillus, which\u00a0protect your gut<\/a> from bad bacteria and infections. Similar to yogurt, it\u2019s a rich, creamy dairy product that\u2019s delicious when mixed with granola, berries, or smoothies. Unlike other dairy products, kefir is low in lactose, making it much easier to digest.<\/p>\n

Tempeh<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re a vegan or vegetarian, take note. Tempeh is one of the best natural probiotic foods to eat. It\u2019s also high in protein<\/a>, vitamins, and essential minerals. Tempeh is a plant-based protein made from fermented soybeans and is a great addition<\/a> to stir fries, sandwiches, or salads.<\/p>\n
