Wellness Tip: Eat fermented foods like soy beans, produce good bacteria, prevent cancer

Arirang | Korea for the World, The World for Korea - Arirang.co.kr: "'People who live in farming villages tend to have good bacteria which come from the regular intake of fiber. But city people generally have more of the bad bacteria that grows from eating fat.'

Eating fermented foods, including soy bean paste, produces good bacteria and increases activity in the large intestines which can help prevent cancer and obesity.
But consuming too much greasy food stimulates bad bacteria growth.


[Interview : Kim Eun-jung
Korea Food & Drug Administration] 'If you eat greasy food, the stomach can't absorb the food properly and this disrupts the stomach's healthy food absorbing pattern.'

So the answer to a healthy body is quite simple, just start from padding out your meals with food such as soy bean paste, red pepper paste and kimchi.
