RE: Fermenting foods, why it’s amazing for your health and how to get started
Well done guys. I used to make sauerkraut a few years ago but didn't notice any difference. However, once I tried kimchi, I did notice an improvement in my digestion. Also, when I tried yogurt after abstaining from it for years, I also found noticeable improvements. At the time, I did not want to consume dairy products (and still don't except for yogurt).
In my opinion though, fermented foods are a way to "kickstart" the digestion, but they don't have long lasting effects. For me, what improved my digestion the most was strengthening my core by doing ab exercises (tummy vaccums, etc.) and that is what did the trick. In the past, I had a really weak core and no matter what I ate, my digestion wasn't good but once I strengthed my core muscles, it had a drastic effect on me to the point where I could easily digest foods that would previously give me a lot of problems.
Nice Post!
Thanks for great comment! It's an interesting point you make. We were in India for one and a half years just a while back, and among other things learned a lot about chakras, the bodies energy centers. The health of Manipuraka chakra, the navel centre, is responsible for the quality of our digestion and also for agni, the belly fire. And typically, eating the right foods can help agni and Manipuraka chakra to improve. But strengthening the core muscles is also super important! I'd never have thought of that relationship between muscle strength and digestion till you spell it out now, and it makes a lot of sense :). Thanks, gave you a follow!
Thank you. I am actually a huge fan of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. I used to watch his discourses all the time on YouTube. The completion process is incredible. IMO, strengthening the core muscles has a greater effect on my digestion than diet itself. I highly suggest to anyone improve their own digestion and AGNI.
well thanks for checking out some other posts too! ;) yes, we're fans also. did you ever go and visit?
