What are the foods that contain prebiotics? 5

Most vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber, which can be called prebiotics, and all have the effect of reducing constipation, lowering intestinal pH, restoring the balance of intestinal bacteria, and enhancing the immune system, so there are many conditions that are met.

Among the vegetables, the higher dietary fiber was garlic sprouts, goldenrod, callus white, bitter gourd, leek, winter bamboo shoots, spinach, celery, loofah, lotus root, lettuce, etc.

The higher fiber content in melons and fruits was jujube, persimmon, grape, pear, apple, banana, etc.

Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, and prebiotics are the nutrients of the beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Do you understand that, landlord? Hehe.

It can also be understood in this way that probiotics refer to the healthy microorganisms in the human intestines, which can indirectly enhance the body's immunity. Prebiotics are substances that promote the growth and activity of healthy bacteria (probiotics). Prebiotics provide "food" to probiotics and can be broken down and absorbed by probiotics.

Bifidokines that we often hear about are prebiotics that promote the growth of intestinal bifidobacteria (probiotics). The "2011 China Infant Physical Fitness Survey Report" shows that many people do not know the difference between the two, and later experts have come out to answer.

After the probiotics of Life Space enter the human intestine, they promote the normalization of the bacterial flora in the intestine through growth and metabolism, inhibit the production of putrid substances in the intestine, and maintain the normal function of the intestine. It can effectively prevent bacterial enteritis, dysentery, constipation and other symptoms. There are also some probiotics that have anti-gastric acid effects, probiotics adhere to the surface of the epithelial cells of the stomach wall, inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori through metabolic activities, and prevent the occurrence of gastric ulcers.

Now there is a prebiotic milk powder, which can be given to the baby to drink this to improve the baby's intestinal flora and promote digestion.

Prebiotics are suitable for a wide range of people.

1.Neonates: Since the intestinal flora of newborns has just been established, in order to establish normal microbiota as soon as possible, prebiotics need to be appropriately supplemented except for breastfed infants who are breastfed.

2.Weaning babies: more than 90% of the intestines are probiotics; However, after the baby is weaned, the beneficial bacteria will suddenly decrease; Especially in formula-fed infants, the intestinal flora is slowly moving towards the humanization mode of the trace.

This time is an important period for the physiological succession of intestinal flora, and an appropriate amount of prebiotics can establish the intestinal flora with bifidobacteria as the main flora as soon as possible, so as to better increase the body's immunity.

3.Adolescents: Nowadays, due to the abundance of material conditions, teenagers are prone to overeating and partial eating and anorexia, and only 60% of intestinal probiotics are left; However, they are in an important period of physical development, and appropriate supplementation of prebiotics can better consolidate the function of the gastrointestinal tract and regulate and balance allergic nutrition.

4.Young adults:The young and middle-aged people around us are the period of hard work, the old and the young, and the work and social interaction and so on lead to the excessive pressure of most people; Fast-paced life, fast food and junk food, staying up late and insomnia are almost commonplace; Most people have intestinal flora imbalance, forming gastrointestinal diseases; At this time, the probiotics are reduced to about 10%-30%.

Supplementing with prebiotics is particularly important, especially for people with habitual constipation.

1.Infant. Infants' gastrointestinal digestion is usually poor and prone to indigestion, so supplementing probiotics as appropriate can improve gastrointestinal digestion and prevent diarrhea and constipation.

2.Senior citizen. For the elderly, with reduced physical function, declining organ function, and insufficient gastrointestinal peristalsis, moderate supplementation of probiotics to improve intestinal digestion and absorption can greatly reduce the probability of getting sick.

3.People with weak stomach and intestines, who have just recovered from a long-term illness. If the gastrointestinal function is relatively poor for a long time or after illness, the gastrointestinal function is relatively weak at this time, you can quickly restore the gastrointestinal function through probiotics and speed up the recovery of the body.
