Healthy Food for Gut:

Depending on what we eat, it can affect our Bacterial Diversity, functioning like an ecosystem.
In Gut science, there are two important aspects to mention:

1. The first aspect is the Diversity of Bacteria.
2. The second aspect is the type of Bacteria commonly called “Good” or “Bad” Bacteria, related to our gut health. This second aspect is more complex; It depends on many parameters that determine whether a bacterium is considered “Good” or “Bad.”

If we focus on Bad Bacteria, it’s important to understand that no matter what we do to reduce them, some will always exist. Even if we do our best to reduce bad bacteria, they will decrease, yes, but some will always come back into our gut, no matter what we do.

Prebiotics and Probiotics are types of food that help develop good bacteria in our gut.
Our gut contains millions or billions of bacteria. These type of food are known to positively influence bacteria.

• Prebiotics have an indirect influence, promoting the creation of Good Bacteria.
  Prebiotics can be found in: Chicory Root, Jerusalem Artichoke, Dandelion Greens, Garlic, Leek, Onion, Asparagus, Wheat Bran, Whole Wheat Flour, and Raw Banana.

• Probiotics have a direct influence on the presence of Good Bacteria.
  Probiotics can be found in: Sauerkraut, any type of Yoghurt, Miso Soup, and Sourdough Bread.
