23. Sauerkraut
Studies have shown that in addition to the nutrients that we get from food, substances produced by the normal bacteria found inside our guts also help with our overall health. Certain food contain what are scientifically called probiotics or substances that help gut microorganisms produce helpful substances for us to absorb. These helpful substances affect different aspects of our body functions, including the improvement of digestive functions.
Fiber-rich food, especially fermented ones such as Sauerkraut, is a good source of probiotics to help encourage good bacteria in our intestines which help alleviate bowel problems such as constipation.
