PICKLES CAN HELP FIGHT CAVITIES _ A pickle a day keeps the doctor away? Science tells us that pickles also have a number of health benefits. It’s why some sports drinks are made with pickles, because they contain electrolytes and potassium that can help relieve muscle cramps. Pickles are rich in probiotics — healthy, live bacteria and yeast — which aid in gut health and digestion, too, and make for an effective hangover cure. And there’s another reason to add more pickles to your diet: they can fight cavities. A study (out of China) found that the probiotics in pickles and other fermented vegetables can prevent tooth decay and thwart the oral bacteria that causes cavities.
