Online Course: Fermented Foods With Holistic Nutrition Coach Vinita Contractor

Why is it so it is important to serve our bodies and minds with the right nutrition?

Serotonin, or the ‘feel good’ chemical produced by our bodies is what defines our mood. It is extremely essential in our daily lives as it induces positive feelings and improves memory, sleeping patterns and appetite. 

Did you know that 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is produced in our gut?

The brain and the digestive system are linked - which is why the latter is sometimes referred to as ‘the second brain’. So one of the most effective ways to promote serotonin production in the body is food!

Serotonin in the gut is produced by microbes, so increasing the level of probiotic foods in your diet can boost up your mood. Studies have shown that adding fermented foods, which contain natural probiotics, in your daily meals can greatly increase the levels of serotonin produced by the gut. Not just that, fermented foods get the beneficial bacteria to colonise in our gut. These foods include kimchi, miso, tempeh, sauerkraut, and drinks such as kombucha.

Why Fermented Foods?

• They are a healthy and natural source of probiotics.
• They improve the overall gut health.
• They promote the absorption of nutrients by the body and makes them bio-available.
• They have a long history in every tradition and a scientific backing.
• They are delicious!
