How to eat symbiotically
" It is not enough to just ferment your bread. A healthy gut is about maintaining a wide diversity of microbes in your gut which means nourishing your microbes with a wide and diverse diet. One that is full of fresh fruit, vegetables, wholegrain, and live food. By this, I mean both prebiotics & probiotics." Vanessa Kimbell
We know that the wider the diversity of your food, the wider the diversity of the microbes in your gut, and we know that the wider this diversity, the more robust your health. We also know that good gut microbial health is associated with a Mediterranean diet.
" It's about understanding that we are symbiotic, with the microbes in our gut microbiome, and the key is being able to eat bread without any digestive issues go beyond just fermenting. The answer is in maintaining digestive health and eating with this in mind. I call it symbiotic eating." Vanessa Kimbell
Here are some of Vanessa's recipes to enjoy with your sourdough that help to support your gut microbial health.
