HOTB 229: Probiotics and Prebiotics... What's the difference?

Informações:

Synopsis

We throw around the terms probiotic and prebiotic like they are the yin and Yang of food microorganisms. Actually, they are complementary but not similar in nature. Today I define the terms and discuss how we can best utilize what we know about the positive effects of both, working together. I mentioned a small NIH study that discusses the health benefits of combining different strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast with foods that they can feed on. That article can be found here. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions for future episodes, feel free to contact me on my contact webpage, which is Healingoutsidethebox.com/contact-us.
