For proper digestion, the best possible immune system and stellar metabolism, you need probiotics. And you can get many of the most important ones for good health from eating a healthy diet. Add in the right probiotic supplements and you’ll feel better than you ever thought possible.

Most people are deficient in the good bacteria that our systems need to function at their best. That means your body could be seriously out of balance and you don’t even know it. Fortunately, there are many things you can do — that is, things you can eat — to make a real difference. You can avoid illness, eliminate fatigue and have better metabolism than ever before and keep harmful yeast at bay.

Consider eating some or all of the following foods for better health:

• kimchi, a fermented cabbage dish from Korea
• tempeh, a vegetarian meat alternative that has a better texture than tofu
• pickles of all sorts, preferably the refrigerated ones rather than those found on grocery store shelves
• miso soup, a Japanese broth used as medicine in some cases that’s made from fermented ingredients
• sauerkraut, a German or European dish of cabbage and vinegar
• yogurt
• dark chocolate

There are also many other foods that include probiotics, including microalgae, perhaps the healthiest food in the world because it contains many vitamins as well as probiotics. When you mix it with other veggies or fruits in a juice, you don’t notice the taste that some people find displeasing.

If you’re not sure you’re getting enough probiotics from food, you can use a probiotic supplement (buy Probiotics UK) to increase your intake. Even when your food intake of probiotics is pretty good, it never hurts to help fill in gaps with a supplement designed with your needs in mind.

European residents are encouraged to buy their probiotics online from www.buyprobiotics.co.uk.
