Breaking Bad Habits 改掉坏习惯(2)

Fascinating. Let's say you want to give up sugar, or you want to give up smoking or something like that, a physical substance.

Do you have any tips for that?

Yes. One of their easiest things to do is incorporate fermented foods that break up chemical dependency on sugars, alcohol, and some other addictive substances.

When I work with people who are recovering from any kind of addictions, they don't have to be substance addictions, fermented foods help a lot.

Okay. Can you give some examples of fermented foods?

Absolutely. If you just chop up any kind of vegetable, let's say it's cabbage and carrot, so you cut it up.

You massage it with salt and some spices until their juice comes out.

You press it down so all the vegetables are covered with its own juice. Three days later, you have perfect fermented sauerkraut.

Wow, that's great. Could you just buy sauerkraut or vinegar or something like that? Would that work?

Well, unfortunately, it wouldn't, because most of their krauts that you buy is pasteurized, which does not give you their probiotic activity.
