is consuming yogurt the best way to get your probiotics well the answer is no it’s not unfortunately the bacterian yogurt gets killed at the stomach level not to mention there’s limited strains of microbes in yogurt I mean sometimes there’s two sometimes there’s three if you’re lucky you might have five or six and the way that they rate these microbes is by unit called cfu and that stands for colony forming units so yogurt usually has about I don’t know 3. 6 cfus but here’s the problem most yogurt out there is pasteurized and these microbes do not survive heat so basically you’re consuming dead bacteria not to mention the extra lactose which so many people have lactose intolerance so they have digestive issues from that not to mention casine allergies it’s the protein and milk many people are sensitive to that as well and we won’t even talk about the added amount of sugar that they put in yogurt now I am speaking generally there are certain yogurts out there that are way better than others uh like the Bulgarian yogurt right that’s an awesome product but the conventional yogurts are not going to give you the probiotics that you really need now what about kefir okay well Kefir is very different than yogurt the way they make kefir is with a kefir grain which are different strains of microorganisms which includes friendly yeast but the word Kefir is a Turkish word that means feel good after a meal and this is probably why people like consuming probiotics because it just makes their stomach feel better and what goes on with your digestive system has a huge influence on what’s going on up here you’re going to feel better in your head if things are better in your stomach now kefir compared to yogurt has like nine times the C Fus it has like 27 billion cfus as compared to like 3. 6 billion for yogur and the lactose the milk sugar is almost not existent because the lactic acid bacteria eat up uh this lactose milk sugar and so if you are lactose intolerant you’ll have much less of a problem and so you have more friendly bacteria and you have a lot of different diversity you have many different uh types of strains that are very beneficial to your gut so Kefir is a much better option but obviously make sure you just get the plain one not the one with added sugar and I would make sure that it’s organic and from cows that are grass-fed or even sheep or goats that are grass-fed but Kefir is a really good one to get your probiotics now what about sauerkraut well sauerkraut is not a fermentated dairy product you’re fermenting cabbage and even though per serving size sauerkraut only has like three billion cfus the juice from the sauerkraut per tablespoon has like 10 billion cfus and if you’re going to consume sauerkraut you usually have more than one tablespoon and so you’re can have a lot more friendly bacteria when you have sauerkraut make sure when you get sauerkraut that it’s not pasteurized okay because the heat kills the microbes but sauerkraut also has the probiotic it has the fiber that feeds your microbes that help with other ways like blood sugars it’s loaded with vitamin K1 vitamin K2 which is very unique because vitamin K2 helps transport calcium um out of the wrong places in your body so it gets it out of the soft tissue and it puts it back in the bone it also has a lot of potassium and even some really cool phytonutrients like lutein and zanthin which are really good for your eyes and another unique thing about sauerkraut is the vitamin U okay now you might say well I’ve never heard of vitamin U well vitamin U is good for everything digestion all sorts of digestive problems from diverticulitis to irritable bowel syndrome to bloating to ulcers anything inflammation in your gut vitamin U can help and that leads me to the next cabbage fermentation product kimchi now kimchi is a Powerhouse when you’re talking about superfoods um it’s fermented cabbage with red chili sometimes they put radish in there which is a superfood radishes are fascinating because they have very potent anti-cancer effects they’re really good for extracting deep mucus inside your body fantastic for the liver and they are a cerous now kimchi also has garlic which is by itself one of the best things for viral infections and and so many other health benefits then you have ginger okay which is another superfood good for your digestion and sea salt now there’s many other things they’ll put in kimchi but um it’s a superfood it’s also really good for sinus infections I’ve done a video on it I will put that link down below uh one serving size like one cup will give you about five billion cfus but the juice from kimchi probably is equivalent if not more to the sauerkraut juice now kimchi has some very unique microorganisms that are different from other fermented products uh especially in the area of lactic acid bacteria and so they can create different effects kimchi is super high in vitamin C just like sauerkraut super high in K1 vitamin K2 as well as potassium and B vitamins now relating to pickles okay I want to just mention something about pickles there’s two different ways they make pickles one is through vinegar which actually is is pretty good but the lacto fermented pickles are much better because they’re going to give you the probotics that that are going to help you just make sure they’re unpasturized they’re not um cooked and you have to keep them in the refrigerator or root seller to preserve them now if you haven’t seen my video on kimchi I think you should watch it it’s pretty interesting check it out I put it right here
