Rospotrebnadzor named five “unexpected” products that will improve your intestines

Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor told what products should be included in the diet for health improvement intestines.

Experts explained that bacteria in the intestines are divided into pathogenic (harmful), opportunistic (neutral) and non-pathogenic (beneficial). The latter, like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, synthesize vitamins, protect against infections and strengthen the immune system. To maintain their number, you can “feed” the microflora with probiotics – live bacteria from food. The most famous probiotic is yogurt — regular consumption of it and other fermented milk products reduces the risk of intestinal cancer, normalizes cholesterol and helps with constipation.

But there are five more products that improve microflora:

• sauerkraut is a storehouse of fiber and vitamins;
• kimchi – a spicy Korean snack made from fermented vegetables, rich in iron and vitamin K;
• kombucha (kombucha) – a probiotic drink known as tea kvass;
• pickled cucumbers (not pickled with vinegar);
• Some cheeses (Gouda, mozzarella, cheddar) contain bacteria that survive aging.

“Add these products to your diet – and your intestines will thank you!” advised Rospotrebnadzor.
