Fermented foods could boost weight loss and slim down your waist, according to a new study.
From yoghurt to pickled vegetables, live microbes are present in a variety of foods we eat every day. Despite a commonly held belief that this "good bacteria" contributes to our health, evidence of this has been "lacking" so far, according to researchers of a newly published study.
The first "real-world" evidence that eating more of this live bacteria could provide benefits like weight loss, smaller waists, and improved blood pressure has been reported by a study published in the Journal of Nutrition.
