Much of our food supply is contaminated with pesticides. Foods are over processed (or unnaturally processed) and things like preservatives change what was once a healthy food to an unnatural, not-so-healthy food. The right probiotics will go to work directly in your intestines to help digest your food and purge wastes from the body. In order to perform these key functions, the gut must be in healthy balance. Good gut health also makes it possible to absorb B vitamins and nutrients from our foods!
Prebiotics are a type non-soluble fiber from plants that are essentially “food” for your good gut bacteria. Think of probiotics as “seeds” and prebiotics as the “fertilizer” for them. Without prebiotic fiber in your diet, your gut bacteria will not thrive.
