-Probiotic supplements can be useful for delivering specific strains—like L. Reuteri—in controlled doses, especially when recommended by a healthcare professional for certain health needs.
-However, for most people, traditional Indian foods offer a safe and effective way to support gut health. Homemade curd (dahi) and buttermilk (chaas or lassi) are rich in live cultures that naturally promote digestion and immunity.
-Fermented foods such as idli, dosa, and even certain pickles (achaar) provide a variety of beneficial bacteria through the natural fermentation process.
-These foods not only supply probiotics but also come packed with fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients that help probiotics thrive in your gut.
-Including these foods regularly in your diet helps maintain a diverse and balanced gut microbiome, which is important for overall health.
-Food-based probiotics are generally better tolerated and come with additional nutritional benefits.
-For best results, enjoy a variety of these traditional Indian probiotic foods as part of your daily meals, and consider supplements only if specifically advised by your doctor or dietitian.
