Feed Your Bacteria Well That They Might Grow
Your body must have a large enough supply of its own probiotic bacteria in your digestive system for it to be able to function properly and provide the rest of your body with the nutrients it needs. In order to help your body to continue to produce its own good bacteria, you need to feed it nutrients known as prebiotics
You will find that foods which are high in fiber including avocado, soybeans, whole wheat, and many others including fruits like bananas, oranges and apples contain natural prebiotics. What happens is that the fiber in these foods cannot be broken down in your stomach and so they pass on into your intestines where the probiotics use them as food source so that they can continue breaking down your foods and nourishing your body. Certain conditions such as chronic heartburn, diarrhea and reflux disease can require a prebiotic supplement such as those available from Natural Wellness Centers of America Inc. ™ to boost probiotic growth.
