Probiotics in gut health and immunity

Probiotics, live microorganisms found in fermented foods and supplements, are crucial for gut health and immunity. They enhance gut flora and aid in digestion, nutrient absorption, and pathogen protection. By regulating immune responses and producing antimicrobial substances, probiotics boost immunity. Research suggests their role in preventing gastrointestinal and immune-related conditions, and improving mental health. Choosing the right probiotics and incorporating them into the diet is essential. Ongoing research promises more targeted interventions for individual health needs.

Delving into prebiotics and how they benefit our health

Prebiotics are found in a variety of plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Common types of prebiotic fibers include fructooligosaccharides (FOS), inulin, galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and resistant starch.
