They are basically the good bacteria our body needs. Probiotics can enable your body to work the way it should be by balancing the good and bad bacteria in your system. There are two types of probiotics, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Also Read - Probiotics and weight loss: How do they help you shed extra kilos?

Raw cheese
Cheese is high in probiotics because they are made from the milk of cows and goats. So, while buying cheese from the market make sure you buy cheese that is raw and unpasteurized because only these forms of cheese contain probiotics. Also Read - 7 healthy probiotic foods to lose weight

Buttermilk
The liquid that is left over after making butter is the most common buttermilk. And this is the only version which is rich in probiotics. Buttermilk also contains phosphorus, calcium and vitamin B12.

Yoghurt
It is one of the best sources of probiotics. Yoghurt is made from milk that is fermented by lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. People who are lactose intolerant yoghurt is a better option for them. And yoghurt has been associated with improved blood pressure levels and bone health. But not all yoghurts contain probiotics, so you need to choose yoghurt with live cultures.

Apple cider vinegar
It has several benefits, some of which include aiding weight loss, cutting the risk of diabetes and regulating cholesterol levels. Apple cider vinegar is also a good source of probiotics.

Pickles
Gherkins also known as pickles are basically cucumbers that have been pickled in a solution of water and salt. For some time using their own naturally present lactic acid bacteria, they are left to ferment. Pickled cucumbers improve digestive health as they are a great source of healthy probiotic bacteria. They are also a good source of vitamin K, low in calorie and considered to be an essential nutrient for blood clotting.
