EB13: Why Prebiotics Are Vital For Our Health


Listen Later

In the last Energy Boost episode number 12 I discussed the importance of getting more fermented probiotic foods into your diet to improve your overall health and energy, because of their added benefits beyond supplemental probiotics. The exception being, if you are trying to heal a specific illness like thrush or Crohn’s disease, utilizing a targeted probiotic strain with demonstrated efficacy in that condition may be the most effective approach.

It's fantastic to be consuming fermented foods, but in order for the probiotics to flourish in your gut they require the assistance of prebiotics, which is a term many people are still unsure of. This group of indigestible carbohydrates play a pivotal role in ensuring that we feel energized and healthy on a daily basis.
