Do we need probiotics? How to include probiotics in Satvic diet?
No, we don't recommend Probiotics.
See, if you're worried about losing your gut bacteria, no need to worry. Let us draw you some context. Probiotics are often regarded as "health foods" claiming to help digest your food. However, think about it. Since when did we need to take care of our gut flora? Have you ever seen an elephant, a gorilla, a cow or a birds stress over the lack of probiotics on their plate? No! Look, if our bodies are exceptional in powering, growing, and repairing themselves, then it's more than capable of maintaining its digestion. A car runs well only when the right fuel is put into it. Put diesel in a petrol car and the engine clogs up refusing to even start. Your food should be such that it was made for you by nature. Wholesome, water-rich, plant-based, and preferably raw. Brown rice over white rice, whole wheat over refined flour, dates over refined white sugar.
You should not need a third-party food or supplement to digest it. If you're having to take a probiotic or supplement to digest your food, it means that your food is not right in the first place. If you think deeply, the word "probiotics" did not exist 100 years ago. It has been brought about by companies who want to sell us their products such as probiotic curd, yogurt, and drinks. As long as we make sure our guts are clean and we're able to digest the food we eat, our guts will be more than capable of making their own good bacteria.
However, you can get your probiotics in peanut curd, coconut curd or homemade kimchi
