Are Probiotics Necessary & What Are Prebiotics?
Updated: May 30, 2020

PRE-biotics are a specific type of fiber that facilitates the growth and maintenance of specific beneficial bacteria within the intestinal tract, while PRO-biotics are the beneficial bacteria themselves.โฃ

Taking probiotics can help here as well, but you need to choose the right strains and doses for your goals while also ensuring that they colonize by feeding them the fiber and prebiotics they need.โฃ

Many people eliminate fibrous foods from their diet when they suffer from certain intestinal conditions because the fiber causes them distress. If you do that, then you need to ensure that you supplement with pro- and prebiotics to maintain intestinal health. ๐๐ง ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ด๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ (๐ฅ๐บ๐ด๐ฃ๐ช๐ฐ๐ด๐ช๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ) ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด๐ฆ.โฃ

We have a lot of data indicating that long-term low-fiber diets cause the extinction of beneficial bacteria and increase the creation of ๐ต๐ฐ๐น๐ช๐ค ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ด from protein putrefaction, along with long-term consequences like worse metabolic health and colon cancer.
