fiber + prebitotics + probiotics
thats the key
Prebiotics are types of dietary fiber that feed the friendly bacteria in your gut. A new discovery found that leafy greens are the best prebiotic you can consume
A critical discovery about how bacteria feed on an unusual sugar molecule found in leafy green vegetables could hold the key to explaining how 'good' bacteria protect our gut and promote health. The finding suggests that leafy greens are essential for feeding good gut bacteria, limiting the ability of bad bacteria to colonize the gut by shutting them out of the prime 'real estate.'
The finding suggests that leafy greens are essential for feeding good gut bacteria, limiting the ability of bad bacteria to colonise the gut by shutting them out of the prime 'real estate'.
Researchers from Melbourne and the UK identified a previously unknown enzyme used by bacteria, fungi and other organisms to feed on the unusual but abundant sugar sulfoquinovose -- SQ for short -- found in green vegetables.
Each year, leafy green vegetables -- such as spinach -- produce the sugar on an enormous scale globally, comparable to the world's total annual iron ore production.
So you need food high in BOTH fiber AND prebiotics. Those include onions, asparagus, leeks, garlic, seaweed, cabbage, radishes, sweet potatoes. all are Great for your gut.
try a stir fry with a mixture of any of the above. plus penty of leafy greens. Do that for a a few weeks and you will feel much better.
For probiotics i recommend Lactobacillus reuteri , one of the few probiotics with lots of research behind it.
