Want to Live Longer? Here's What You Need!

Live Longer AND Live Well Longer - There is a misconception out there that our health has improved because we are living longer. If you look at the statistics for Canada in 1970 the average lifespan was almost 73 years and as of 2019, that number has risen to 80 years for males and 84 years for females.

I learned the power of adding fermented foods to help and with so many choices there is likely an option that will fit even the most discerning palate.

Bacteria that can produce a plethora of fermentation products that improve the way your body works. The same microbes that turn milk into yogurt, benefit your gut, brain, immune system and overall physiology.
