A healthy adult should have up to 3 pounds of friendly microbes in their gastrointestinal track. Most folks are sorely lacking in this department as these "probiotics" get killed off through natural life cycles, antibiotics, chlorinated water, chemical exposure and stress. This would not be a problem if we were to replenish them. And this is where regular eating of cultured foods comes in to save the day! Every other country that I am aware of has some type of cultured food that is customarily consumed as a staple (unless they have adopted a western diet). I think its high time we add some culture to our lives! Try eating ¼ to ½ cup with each meal to help digest food, absorb nutrients and alkalize the body.
