Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is important for overall health, and there are many foods that can support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. Here are ten (10) examples of foods that are great for gut health:

1. Yogurt – contains live active cultures (probiotics) that help support a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
2. Kefir – a fermented milk drink that is similar to yogurt and also contains probiotics.
3. Sauerkraut – fermented cabbage that is rich in probiotics and other beneficial compounds.
4. Kimchi – a Korean dish made from fermented vegetables, typically cabbage and radish, that is high in probiotics and antioxidants.
