"Rule 36: Eat Some Food That Have Been Predigested by Bacteria or Fungi"
~Food Rules (Michael Pollan)
This sounds slightly absurd until I realized that foods that have been transformed by microorganisms include soy sauce, kimchi, yogurt, sourdough bread, sauerkraut, etc. Thank you Asian cooking! Which reminds me of that one time we drove to Vancouver, Canada to board our Alaskan cruise but found ourselves frantically driving through the foreign streets in search of Chinatown or atleast an Asian grocery store to buy a bottle of soy sauce for the trip. If grandma was going to be trapped on a boat for a week eating someone else's food she definitely needed to at least top everything with a couple splashes of soy sauce. Thank goodness our trek didn't take too long, we were in Vancouver.
Fresh Air recently had a story about fermented foods.
The Art of Fermentation
Foods with probiotics are supposed to help with digestion and your immune functions. At least that's what yogurt commercials advertise. This might conflict with Rules 8 and 11. You should read this book (the version with pictures!).
