The Need for Prebiotic Foods

We’ve covered probiotics, but now we’ll look at prebiotics.  These are the foods designed to feed the gut bacteria in your body… at least, portions of the food goes to them.

In my endeavour to keep the lessons simple and easy to understand and follow, I have not added in all the variations of resistant starch.  At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter, and it won’t matter while ever you eat a wide variety of foods to ensure you are picking up on every type of nutrient possible.

It’s how it is!

It doesn’t matter what it is, there is always variety.  When God provided for us He made a huge variety out of every different herb, fruit, vegetable etc. etc.  I mean there is one simple example… the leaves on the trees.  Every different shape, colour, length, thickness etc. that could possibly be imagined is there.  Of-course, not all the leaves on the trees are designed for consumption, but look even at the various leaves within our own veggie patch… and each one tastes different to the next.

I could say the same kind of thing about almost anything at all.  The huge variety in fruit.  Do you know that we only have a tiny portion of the varieties of fruit now to what was previously available?  I’m guessing most of that has come about because of large production of just a few.

Look at carrots… we think of a carrot as being orange in colour.  But the carrot of yester-year was all kinds of colours. Sometimes you can find them, but 99.99% of all the carrots we ever see are orange.

Look, long story short… variety is the key!

When you look at the list of 33 prebiotic foods in the lesson, do you eat from a wide variety of them?  Are you actively feeding your little mates on the inside and keeping them fit and healthy?

Don’t you love the last sentence ‘Enhanced fat burning even while eating some good quality dark chocolate’!  You’d better make sure it is good quality though. 🙂
