The life expectancy in America is 79 years of age, 42nd in the world. I don’t know about you, but that seems young to me. Life expectancy in Mediterranean countries is higher, with Italy ranking 12th and Spain 16th. Are we the worst? No. Could we do better? Yes. Let’s live our healthiest lives, starting with gut health which is partly derived from enjoying delicious fermented foods.
