Seek Out Fermented Foods for Better Daily NutritionS  Most of us
know a few nutrition basics like including fiber in our diets
and avoiding processed foods as much as possible, but fermented
foods aren't on most people's radar. Las Vegas-based registered
dietitian and nutritionist Andy Bellatti explains why they're
healthy and why you should keep an eye out for them when
considering your diet:  Eat more fermented foods. Fermented
foods offer probiotics, which help replenish healthful bacteria
in our colon (important for many purposes). Whether it's
drinking kombucha (a fermented tea), trying out kimchi at a
Korean restaurant, making your own sauerkraut, or eating more
yogurt (FYI: there are now almond, soy, and coconut-based
yogurts available), fermented foods are a great addition to any
diet.  If you're looking to eat a bit healthier, keep fermented
foods in mind. They're a very useful component in your diet.
