Prebiotic Foods
Updated: Feb 11
Prebiotic foods help to feed your gut biome. The trillions of microorganisms in your digestive tract help to digest food and also help your hormones and your immune system.
If they are well balanced and are thriving this can help you to be more resilient and healthier.
To keep them "fed" well then it is important to reduce consumption of processed foods, in particular ultra processed foods. Instead swap in whole foods such as vegetables and fruit.
Typical well known prebiotic foods include:
Asparagus
Bananas
Berries
Broccoli
Buckwheat
Chia seeds
Chicory root
Dandelion leaves
Flax seeds
Garlic
Jerusalem artichoke (aka sunchokes)
Kale
Leeks
Legumes
Milk (from grass fed/organic/biodynamic sources)
Oats
Onion
Wheat bran
Whole grains (not processed but the literal whole grain such as brown rice, barley, millet)
