DIGEST BETTER!

There is a constant battle taking place. The battlefield is your gut and the victor’s prize is your health. The combatants are the good healthy bacteria (probiotics) and the bad disease causing bacteria (pathogens). Your gut naturally contains both probiotics and pathogens, over 100 trillion of them. That’s 100,000,000,000,000; more than the cells in your entire body! When the probiotics have the upper hand (more of them than pathogens) you are healthy. When the pathogens have the upper hand (more of them than probiotics) then you are unhealthy and prone to disease.

You have most likely heard about probiotics and their role in digestive and immune health. But what about prebiotics? Probiotics are healthy live bacteria often found in yogurt and fermented foods as well as in supplements. Their primary function is to keep your digestive and immune systems healthy by keeping pathogenic bacteria in check. Doctors often prescribe probiotics to patients with digestive issues as well as those on antibiotics in an attempt to combat the unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects of the medication. Probiotics are a powerful tool in combating gastrointestinal issues; however, they do not have the same power or effect as prebiotics do.

Probiotics are wonderful and provide us with numerous health benefits however, they’re very delicate. Heat, moisture and stomach acid can kill them, rendering them ineffective before they’ve even been digested. In fact, the simple act of shopping and bringing yogurt home can kill most of the probiotics in your yogurt. Also, those who don’t eat dairy foods for various reasons may find eating adequate amounts of probiotics difficult, if not impossible. Finally, we don’t know which “good” bacteria our unique bodies will benefit from. There are millions of different species (called strains) in thousands of products. Some strains have been scientifically tested, and proven effective, but many have not. For some people, a certain probiotic strain would be helpful while useless for others. When we consume probiotics, we’re taking a guess at which bacteria might be helpful and hoping for the best. We’re also hoping the ones that make it past the heat and acid of our stomach will actually go on to provide some health benefits to us.

Now that we are clear on probiotics, what are prebiotics? Simply put prebiotics are special plant fibers that cannot be digested by your body. They are the food for probiotics. They serve to nourish probiotics, helping them to grow, multiply and flourish.  While probiotics introduce good bacteria into the gut, prebiotics act as a fertilizer for the probiotics that are already in your gut as well as those being actively added (consumed). They help your good bacteria grow, improving the good-to-bad bacteria ratio. This ratio has been shown to have a direct correlation to your health and overall well-being, throughout your system, from your stomach to your brain. Studies show that as probiotics proliferate in the gut, the numbers of potentially harmful bacteria such as E.Coli, Staphylococcus, Candida, Salmonella, Listeria and Clostridium decline. These harmful bacteria produce toxic substances such as ammonia, which can burden the body’s immune system, causing overwork for organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Keeping pathogenic bacteria in check eases the burden on your on your immune system, liver and kidneys.

Your body does not digest these plant fibers. Instead, it uses these fibers to promote the growth of many probiotic strains. Studies have also shown prebiotics and good bacterial gut balance play a direct role in mental health. Individuals who consume prebiotics on a daily basis have fewer issues with anxiety, depression and stress. In fact, when their saliva was tested, it contained lower levels of cortisol. High levels of this hormone have been linked directly to mental health disorders.

Prebiotics, unlike probiotics, are not destroyed in the body. They are not affected by heat or bacteria. Getting the full benefits of prebiotics is easy, especially when consumed regularly. Prebiotics are fermented in the gut and broken down into short chain fatty acids (SCFA). It is these SCFA that are consumed by the probiotics as food. Prebiotics are needed to help probiotics grow and remain in your digestive system. Not all fibers are prebiotics. Without adequate prebiotics to feed them, taking probiotics may just be a waste of your time and money.
