Скачать или смотреть Kefir, Kimchi & Sourdough: How Fermented Foods Really Work

What’s the difference between a live ferment and a dead ferment — and do both actually benefit your gut?

In this clear and fascinating explanation, we break it down:

🧪 Live ferments — like kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi — contain microbes that are still alive when you eat them.
If they survive the acidity of the stomach and reach the colon, they may contribute directly to your gut microbiome.

🍞 Dead ferments — like sourdough bread — have been cooked or baked, meaning the microbes are no longer alive.
But here’s the fascinating part: early science suggests that even dead microbial fragments may still interact with the immune system in a beneficial way.

It’s all part of the emerging research showing how food, microbes and immunity are more connected than we ever realised.
