The Complete Prebiotic and Probiotic Health Guide: A Vegetarian Plan for Balancing Your Gut Flora In recent years, there has
been a great deal of research exploring the relationship
between maintaining an optimal balance of healthy
bacteria in our gut, known as "healthy gut",
and the impact of a healthy gut on
overall health and disease prevention and treatment.
There are two bacteria key to a healthy gut: probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that naturally live and flourish in the colon of our digestive systems. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are non-digestible carbohydrates that also live in the digestive system where they act as "food" for the beneficial probiotics. Unfortunately, there are some lifestyle choices, such as poor diet and overuse of antibiotics, that can seriously compromise healthy levels of probiotics and prebiotics. The Complete Prebiotic and Probiotic Health Guide is a guide to achieving and maintaining an optimal balance of prebiotics and probiotics in the digestive system. Written by one of North America's leading gastroenterologists, the book explains what and exactly how probiotics work, as well as how they are linked to diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and urinary tract infections. The health benefits of prebiotics are also covered and their role in diseases such as colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, weight loss and calcium absorption. To get you off to the best possible start with respect to both prebiotics and probiotics, The Complete Prebiotic and Probiotic Health Guide has 175 tempting recipes that promote optimum amounts of each. Foods like yogurt, kefr, sauerkraut and miso soup are covered for their positive probiotic benefts, and such foods as asparagus, chicory root, garlic, onions, and dietary fiber, which optimize prebiotics, are also covered. This is a comprehensive and practical choice for making important changes that can have a profound effect on health and well-being. If the thought of
bacteria conjures images of germs that should be avoided
at all costs—and certainly not ingested—think again!
Some friendly bacteria, called
probiotics, are not only beneficial to your health,
they’re essential. Now an internationally recognized
scientist at a top U.S. medical school—one of the
leading researchers in the field—sheds light on the
extraordinary benefits of these natural health
superstars.
Thanks to an explosion of research in recent years, one thing is clear: probiotics, the healthy bacteria that inhabit the digestive tract, are the body’s silent partners for good health, optimizing the power of the immune system to fight disease and the “bad” germs we fear. But how do they work? And in the face of factors like stress and poor diet, which decrease their numbers, how do you keep your supply well stocked? Here is an up-to-the-minute, highly accessible guide to probiotics and the foods and supplements that contain and support them—many of which may be in your diet already. Discover: The key role of probiotics and prebiotics in restoring healthy balance to our bodies, improving immune system functioning, and curbing inflammation How to use probiotic foods and supplements to prevent and relieve allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, yeast infections, and the negative side effects of antibiotic use New evidence that probiotics may help fight asthma, cardiovascular disease, breast and colon cancer, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia—and even obesity Natural sources of prebiotics, the nutrients that help make the digestive tract more hospitable for probiotic bacteria The Probiotics Revolution also includes a step-by-step plan for incorporating the many food sources of probiotics and prebiotics into your diet, a complete buyer’s guide to probiotic supplements, and how to introduce probiotics to your family and children.

in Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology:
Implications for Human Health, Prebiotics,
Probiotics and Dysbiosis is a one-stop reference on the
state-of-the-art research on gut microbial ecology in
relation to human disease. This important resource
starts with an overview of the normal microbiota
of the gastrointestinal tract,
including the esophagus, stomach, Ileum, and colon.
The book then identifies what a healthy vs. unhealthy microbial community looks like, including methods of identification. Also included is insight into which features and contributions the microbiota make that are essential and useful to host physiology, as is information on how to promote appropriate mutualisms and prevent undesirable dysbioses. Through the power of synthesizing what is known by experienced researchers in the field, current gaps are closed, raising understanding of the role of the microbiome and allowing for further research.

Healing Your Body: The Prebiotics And Probiotics Guide: Align Probiotic Probiotics and prebiotics
are both pretty big topics in nutrition these days.
Yet even though they sound similar, the two play
different roles in your health. Probiotics are
beneficial bacteria, and prebiotics
is food for these bacteria.
Prebiotics and probiotics both support the body in building and maintaining a healthy colony of bacteria and other microorganisms, which supports the gut and aids digestion. These food components help promote beneficial bacteria by providing food and creating an environment where microorganisms can flourish. In this book, you will find every piece of information you need about probiotics and prebiotics, associating with how it benefits your health. Intеѕtіnаl
