As a result, there is less space for harmful bacteria that can lead to illnesses. Some of the fermented food are- • Yogurt- It naturally contains lots of probiotic cultures that strengthen the digestive tract. Some Greek yogurt also boasts added probiotics like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei that may help increase the good bacteria in your gut. • Idli/ dosa/dhokla- Made from cereals and/or pulses fermented overnight and cooked.

The beneficial bacteria in your gut eat this fibre and produce substances that stimulate its own growth and activity and thereby improve gut health. • Some of the natural prebiotic rich food are- • Onion • Garlic • Apple • Asparagus • Flaxseeds • Raw bananas
