If you're having digestive problems or feeling sick and rundown--or if
you simply want to feel better and have more energy--this is the book
for you. In Cultured Food for Health, Donna Schwenk opens your eyes to
the amazing healing potential of cultured foods. Focusing on the notion
that all disease begins in the gut--a claim made by Hippocrates, the
father of medicine, more than 2000 years ago--she brings together
cutting-edge research, firsthand accounts from her online community, and
her personal healing story to highlight the links between an imbalanced
microbiome and a host of ailments, including high blood pressure,
allergies, depression, autism, IBS, and so many more. Then she puts the
power in your hands, teaching you how to bring three potent probiotic
foods--kefir, kombucha, and cultured vegetables--into your diet.
Following the advice in these pages, along with her 21-day program, you
can easily (and deliciously!) flood your system with billions of good
bacteria, which will balance your body and allow it to heal naturally.
In this book, you'll find:
- Step-by-step instructions on how to make basic kefir, kombucha, and
cultured vegetables
- More than 100 tasty, easy-to-make recipes, from smoothies to desserts,
that feature probiotic foods - A three-week program with day-by-day
