Gut Health
As always, looking after your gut is the most important part of your overall health care.
A daily dose of some chia seeds, is an essential part of your everyday eating.

The second most important thing is to keep eating fermented foods. Choose from kefir, kombucha, kimchi or sauerkraut. There are so many ways to make these foods. Here is a simple version of fermented vegetables that I do at home:

Sauerkraut or other Fermented Vegetables
Ingredients:
2 -3 carrots
1/4 head of cauliflower
2 – 3 cloves garlic
4 small onions
1 medium head fresh green cabbage
1 tablespoon iodine-free salt, and other preferred spices
Method:
You will need 800g of vegetables and cabbage in your bowl. This is the perfect amount of cabbage and vegetables to mix with 1 tablespoons salt to create right saltiness of brine to ensure perfectly fermented sauerkraut.
- Peel and slice the vegetables, don’t use the core.
- Finely mince two to three garlic cloves and add these to the bowl
- Discard the limp outer leaves of the cabbage, setting aside one of the cleaner ones for use at the end.
- Create the brine in which your sauerkraut will ferment. For this you need salt. Salt pulls water out of the cabbage and vegetables to create an environment where the good bacteria can grow and proliferate, and the bad bacteria die off. Add other spices and chili if you wish.
- Sprinkle the vegetables and cabbage with 1 tablespoon of salt and mix well.
- Massage and squeeze the vegetables with strong hands until moist, creating the brine.
- Grab handfuls of the salty, juicy cabbage mixture and pack them into your quart-sized wide-mouth canning jar, periodically pressing the mixture down tightly with your fist or a large spoon so the brines rises above the top of the mixture and no air pockets remain. Be sure to leave at least 1 inch of space between the top of the cabbage and the top of the jar. Pour any brine left into the jar.
- Place the fermenting mixture is in a safe anaerobic, no air, environment. Take that cabbage leaf you saved, tear it down to just fit in the jar. To prevents bits floating to the surface, place your torn cabbage leaf over the surface of the packed cabbage. To hold the vegetables below the brine, place the 4-ounce jelly jar on top of the cabbage leaf, right side up with its lid removed. Lightly screw the white plastic storage lid onto the jar. By leaving the lid on somewhat loose, CO2 gases that will build up during fermentation process can escape.
Let it rest for 2-4 weeks. The ideal temperature is between 18 – 23 °C. The lower the temperature the slower the fermentation.
