If you still doubt whether to include sauerkraut in your diet, listen to the opinion of oncologist Elena Smirnova.

According to the expert, this dish is a fermented product that contains probiotics.

Thanks to this “component,” fermented foods can improve digestion and peristalsis, maintain the diversity of their own microflora, and even promote weight loss – although in this case, it is not probiotics that should be thanked, but good digestibility and low calorie content.

Other fermented foods that will only benefit the person who consumes them include pickled cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as pickled apples.

You shouldn't ignore drinks either: kefir, natural yogurt and kombucha.

However, not everyone should rely on such products.

People suffering from gastrointestinal problems should be especially careful with fermented foods.

The downside is that such foods contain a lot of salt, and excessive consumption can lead to bloating and increased gas formation.
