With his no-nonsense attitude to health, the pro regularly dishes out advice on his podcast series 'Stay Young' - using each episode to explore "one simple, scientifically-proven thing you can start doing today to rejuvenate yourself from the inside out". And it was during one of these shows that he sang the praises of fermented food. "Today I'm making something that it's claimed could boost my mood, improve my immune system, deepen my sleep and reduce those niggling aches and pains that come with age," he explained on the BBC Radio 4 podcast. "I'm making Kombucha, a fermented fizzy drink. I've looked into the health benefits of gut-friendly fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and kefir before. This time I want to look at claims specifically that fermented foods can help with healthy ageing." And in news that is sure to delight Kombucha lovers, he went on to explain that fermented food and drink could really make a difference. "The idea is that as we get older the number and diversity of our gut microbes declines, which contributes to chronic inflammation and a host of age-related diseases." Not everyone should give them a go, however, as Dr Mosley warned: "A note of caution. They're not suitable for everyone. If you're immuno-compromised, or on certain types of medication do check with your doctor before adding lots of live microbes to your diet." But for those who can eat fermented foods, he said he "really would recommend you give them a try." "You get a wonderful range of new flavours and the health benefits are impressive," the pro added. So, what are these benefits? The doctor cited a recent randomised trial in which 25 men and women were asked to drink a daily glass of kefir or){kind=link}
