Prebiotics
Your digestive system is the foundation of your wellbeing.
Your digestive system is responsible for turning the food you eat into the energy needed to survive and carry out your normal daily activities. You can support your healthy digestion with prebiotic supplements and digestive enzymes.
Modern lifestyle, poor diet, antibiotic use and stress can all wreak havoc with your digestive health. When the digestive system is functioning properly, the lining of the digestive tract acts as a filter to allow all good nutrients to enter the bloodstream and prevent toxins and waste products from entering, keeping them in the bowel so they can be eliminated.
Prebiotics
The good bacteria in your digestive system needs a regular food supply in order to survive and thrive. Prebiotics are the food for this bacteria and consist of things like fibre from raw vegetables which the bacteria can easily digest.
Good sources of prebiotics include:
Almonds
Chicory
Garlic
Chickpeas
Onions, shallots and spring onions
Leeks
Savoy cabbage
Apple cider vinegar
By supplementing your diet with prebiotics you can help to improve the balance of good bacteria in your gut.

Digestive Enzymes
These enzymes are needed in your gut to help break down food to smaller particles so they can be readily absorbed. Without them you will be unable to get the optimum digestion of all the food groups – proteins, fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and lactose.
If you don’t have enough digestive enzymes you may experience the symptoms of food intolerance such as flatulence and indigestion.
Some foods of the foods which contain enzymes that help with digestion include:
pineapple
banana
ginger
kiwifruit
These enzymes can be destroyed when food is processed, canned or cooked.
Supplementing with digestive enzymes can assist healthy functioning of the digestive tract so that it allows good absorption of nutrients. This can reduce indigestion symptoms such as bloating and gas.
