Prebiotics are a type of dietary fiber that are found in certain foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. They help to feed the friendly bacteria that live in the gut, promoting a healthy balance of bacteria and supporting digestive health. Prebiotics are not the same as probiotics, which are live bacteria that can be found in fermented foods and supplements. Instead, prebiotics provide nourishment for the probiotics and help them to thrive in the gut. Some common sources of prebiotics include bananas, onions, garlic, and whole wheat foods.
