Fermented nutrients are good for you?

When I hear the word "fermented" I think of the compost pile out at the back of my grandparents' yard, but fermentation also has an important part in our diets and healthy nutrients. It's all about probiotics and enzymes, and how they all work together with our gastrointestinal tracts to get the most benefit from the foods we eat.

If you're interested in this type of thing then this article from Alive.com is worth reading. It explains how probiotics work in your system, which foods are fermented that you may not have thought were, and how to find things like phytonutrients to put into your daily diet. Mmm, fermenting!
