I was gassy, bloated, and would have a mix of diarrhea and constipation. My skin started to break out in pimples like I used to have in high school. I took some tests and found out that I had a very significant yeast infection.To eliminate this infection I tried switching up my diet to include no sugar, took herbal supplements in an attempt to kill the yeast, and I also used all type of natural topical solutions to get rid of the acne that had developed – it was embarrassing and uncomfortable to be in public looking like I did!Thankfully, this was right around the time I met Donna Gates, the creator of the Body Ecology Diet and one of the world’s foremost authorities on intestinal health and the healing effects of fermented foods.Like I said before to prevent my problems, I had tried eliminating sugar from my diet and took a bounty of herbal concoctions, but it was finally Donna’s diet – rich in restorative fermented foods – that healed my gut and everything else in the process.I wasn’t just back to normal; I was better than ever before.Up until then, I hadn’t paid too much attention to what I heard about fermented foods, but now I was intrigued. I would soon discover countless people with stories similar to mine, and several new studies began to emerge about the link between compromised digestive health and various conditions and diseases. Like many other things before in my life, fermentation became a burning new interest of mine as it helped me just when I couldn’t figure out what was going wrong. It got me back on the right track.So now, I’m sharing what I learned with you…In these 7 tips, you’ll discover why fermented foods may just be one of the most powerful categories on superfoods on the planet. You’ll also find out their many health benefits beyond just repairing the gut, like…    Increasing your energy levels.    Detoxifying and cleansing your system from harmful pollutants and chemicals.    Boosting your immune system to prevent colds, infection and disease.    Eliminating gas, bloating and poor digestion.    Improving your mood with nutrients created during the fermentation process.    And more!
