Prebiotic For Healthy Probiotic

We know that a healthy probiotic (good bacteria) population in our gut contributes to better digestion and absorption as well as reduced pathogens (disease-causing microbes) in the intestine. Prebiotic is food for probiotics that enable the microscopic organisms to thrive in our intestines.

Oat bran is a fiber-rich prebiotic. It lowers cholesterol, may reduce blood pressure and inflammation, which is great for heart health.  Fiber is a bulk food that helps one feel full, thus contributing to weight lost by eating less. It may also help regulate blood sugar levels, which can aid in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes. All these health benefits are not unique to oat bran. All prebiotic foods offer these health benefits and more. You don’t need to confine yourself to eating oat bran because there are tens of thousands of prebiotic plants worldwide for you to choose from!
