Prebiotics are types of dietary fiber that feed the friendly bacteria in your gut. This helps the gut bacteria produce nutrients for your colon cells and leads to a healthier digestive system. Prebiotic foods are high in special types of fiber that support digestive health, and even boost your immune system. Prebiotic foods have also been shown to improve metabolic health and even help prevent certain diseases.

Here are 10 great prebiotic foods:

Dandelion Greens         Barley

Garlic                                Oats

Onions                             Apples

Asparagus                        Cocoa

Bananas                            Flaxseeds

Some other benefits:

● Help you absorb calcium
● Change the rate at which foods cause spikes in blood sugar (the glycemic index)
● Ferment foods faster, so they spend less time in your digestive system. That helps you not get constipated.
● Keep the cells that line your gut healthy
