By improving the health of the intestinal tract, such products also strengthen the health of the skin. Thus, nutritionist Mosley named sauerkraut among the foods that protect against melanoma.
“There are prebiotics in leeks, and probiotics in sauerkraut and yogurt.”
The expert also recommended eating plant foods: vegetables, herbs. Eating them effectively helps prolong the youth of the skin.
