@reddust, you are killing me (in a good way of course).
I need to improve my digestive health, but I cannot stand fermented foods and drinks. I was often served fermented rice in Indonesia. Ah! Sorry reddust! I always enjoy your posts, but I can do it! 😀
Hope all is well.
@sumatranate, I read an article about some of the last hunter gathers living in Africa. They have some of the most diversified gut bacteria in the world. The colonies of gut bacteria changes with the seasons as well. Sometimes one or groups of bacteria will completely disappear only to appear again at the same time next year. The researchers found the gut bacteria that improve our health and mental well-being come from food sources, not only from plant life but also animals killed and eaten. These are some of the healthiest people on earth related to gut health.
