Are fermented foods like kombucha actually good for you?

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20...

"Fermented foods have a complex (community, collective, commune, fraternity) of microbes that may change from one kombucha to another."

I'd suggest buying 10 fermented foods and gradually (presenting, establishing, initiating, introducing) them into your (diet, meal) to see which your body agrees with – Paul Cotter

The most researched fermented food is yoghurt, Vinderola says, which is always made up of two (definite, specific, specified, peculiar) types of bacteria, no matter where it's made in the world: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.

This makes it easy to build on previous research to form a (trusty, reliable, truthful, trusting) evidence base.

"However, with kefir, for example, you'll get different results in different parts of the world because it will (hold, contain, carry, bear) different bacteria, so it's difficult to compare results and build an evidence base," Vinderola says.

Given these (cracks, breaks, gaps, spaces, rifts) in our knowledge, should we be eating more fermented foods? Yes, says Cotter – but he advises introducing them gradually into your diet.

"I'd suggest buying 10 fermented foods and gradually introducing them into your diet to see which your body (concurs, supports, agrees, corresponds) with," he says. "And take a note of what you've eaten and how you feel afterwards."

This is because it can sometimes take a few days for our guts to become accustomed to certain fermented foods, and, in rare cases, it can cause a minor allergic (reply, reaction, backlash, comeback).

How often should we eat fermented food?
Gomez has found that those who've been eating fermented foods across their whole lifetime may have a (persistent, unending, indelible, endless, permanent) health advantage in their gut microbiome.

He noted that, among the participants in his study on fermented food and mental health, one was from Korea, while the others were from the US – and this participant had gut bacteria (related, allied, resulting, associated) with kimchi.

"The US participants probably started consuming fermented foods later in life, (though, although, as, whereas) Koreans eat a lot of kimchi, and the Korean participant was probably eating this since he was a child," Gomez says.

These findings (gave, brought, led, made) Gomez to wonder if there are permanent effects of consuming fermented foods over a long period of time.

"But this doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the (assist, favour, benefits, services) of fermented foods," he says of those who only start eating them later in life.

Whichever fermented foods you want to try, Vinderola (instructs, signals, briefs, advises) eating it regularly. "Getting any health benefits depends on how frequently you eat it," he says.

"You should eat it regularly, because the immune system needs constant (stimulation, excitement, incentive, refreshment)."
