🧫 Probiotics vs. Prebiotics: What Your Gut REALLY Needs (No Hype!)
Walk into any store, and you’ll spot probiotics and prebiotics—in yogurts, pills, even bread. But do you know how they actually affect your gut? Let’s break it down.
🔬 Probiotics vs. Prebiotics: The Basics
Probiotics: Live bacteria (like in yogurt, kimchi) that boost gut health.
Prebiotics: Fiber (inulin, resistant starch) that feeds good bacteria.
Together, they nurture your microbiome—the trillions of microbes in your gut, skin, and more.
❓ Do Supplements Work?
Probiotic pills? Studies show little impact on microbiome diversity in healthy people.
Post-antibiotics? They might delay gut recovery!
Prebiotics? Mixed results—more research needed.
🍎 The Best Way to a Healthy Gut
Skip expensive supplements and eat:
✅ Probiotic foods: Yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso.
✅ Prebiotic fiber: Whole grains, bananas, onions, legumes.
