Optimizing Gut Health : Experiments In Fermentation

I have a close friend who cannot handle drinking vegetable juices. After years of taking anti-biotics for various problems, she simply could not process these. Her “biome” was shot. Her gut bacteria were not complete.
This got me into research about this. I really wanted her to drink vegetable juices for her health. Turns out there is a lot of research about the health of your gut, also in a holistic way called your “biome”. If you want to be healty you need a healthy biome.
Fermented foods are extremely rich in pro-biotics. Saurkraut, kimchi, kombucha and more will all help you restore your gut bacteria. It will build your immunity.
So today we started experiments in fermentation. The goal is to be able to make sure people have a healthy gut as part of being a healthy person. This will allow proper digestion of all the nutrients from the food you eat.

Making Saurkraut at home. Kneading cabbage for the first time.

I was eager to get started. So I started right away this morning.

I ended up making 3 different types, which will be ready in 3-5 days. I also got my kids involved which was nice, as there is no fire involved.

Lets see how these turn out in 3 days :)
