Top scientist shares tips for adding fermented foods to your diet for better gut health

Tim Spector, a British epidemiologist, emphasizes the importance of incorporating fermented foods into your diet for gut health. He suggests starting small, checking food labels, and eventually making your own fermented foods at home. Spector recommends adding a tablespoon of fermented foods like kimchi or kefir to meals. He advises looking for products low in added sugar and free from chemical additives when buying store-bought options. Once comfortable, Spector encourages making homemade fermented foods, which can reduce waste and save money. He shares a simple method for making kefir using store-bought kefir as a starter.
