Probiotics and Prebiotics

Probiotics and prebiotics : are both related to the health of your gut, but they work in different ways.Probiotics are live microorganisms, typically bacteria or yeast, that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. These beneficial bacteria are similar to the microorganisms that naturally reside in your gut. Probiotics can be found in certain foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and other fermented foods, as well as in supplement form. They help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. Probiotics have been studied for their potential to improve digestion boost the immune system, alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and even support mental health.Prebiotics, on the other hand, are a type of fiber that serves as fuel for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. They are essentially food for probiotics. Prebiotics are not digested by the human body but instead pass through the digestive tract to the colon, where they are fermented by gut bacteria. This fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids, which provide energy for the cells lining the colon and help maintain a healthy gut environment. Prebiotics are naturally found in many plant-based foods such as bananas, onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, chicory root, and whole grains.Consuming both probiotics and prebiotics as part of a balanced diet can help support gut health and overall well-being.
