Benefits of Prebiotics and Probiotics

There are two ways that our body breaks down foods and transfers them throughout our body. Food that is easily broken down is absorbed into your upper intestinal tract. If you cannot absorb a particular food, it goes to the lower intestinal tract (colon), where bacteria (in your colon) ferment it to smaller products that can be absorbed.

Your colon is loaded with good and bad bacteria. The good bacteria break down soluble fiber to form chemicals such as short chain fatty acids that are absorbed into your bloodstream and travel to your liver where they block the liver from making cholesterol and help to prevent heart attacks. These short chain fatty acids also reduce inflammation, so they help to control the diarrhea and ulcers caused by Crohn's disease. They also reduce the swelling and pain of arthritis, diabetes and psoriasis, and some studies show they may even improve your immunity to help kill germs.

Foods that cannot be absorbed in your upper intestinal tract pass to your colon and form the food for the huge colony of friendly bacteria there, these are called Prebiotics. These include whole grains, beans, seeds, vegetables and nuts. Prebiotics are the non-digestible food ingredients that cannot be absorbed in the upper intestinal tract and travel to the colon to encourage the growth of these good bacteria. A healthful, high-fiber diet will include a wide variety of these foods.

Probiotics are living microorganisms, the good bacteria that live in the colon and reduce inflammation and help prevent and treat Crohn's disease, psoriasis, arthritis, and perhaps even certain types of cancers.
