Research by experts has found that eating foods rich in healthy bacteria can help lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and help maintain a healthy weight.
The healthy bacteria and fungi found in fermented foods such as yogurt and some raw fruits and vegetables are beneficial for the gastrointestinal tract. Similarly, for example, bacterial strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus can improve insulin sensitivity and Bifidobacterium bifidum can help reduce gastrointestinal symptoms caused by stress.
Because of the health benefits of live microbes, researchers at the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) argue that foods rich in healthy bacteria should be consumed daily, along with fiber-rich foods. .
To further evaluate this, scientists conducted a study in 2022 that estimated the number of live microbes in individual foods and how much of them Americans consume.
