Prebiotic vs Probiotic

Colette,Every and I mean EVERY diet needs to have some probiotic foods in it. Probiotic foods are live foods. Foods like yogurt that have active cultures. Did you know that almost every traditional diet has some "live" foods in it.The Russians have a favorite of mine, Kefir. For some reason Kefir just makes you feel good when you drink it and now with flavors like pomegranate or raspberry it is great. It is a milk based product and tastes like yogurt but is loaded with beneficial bacteria. My favorite brand is lifeway.The Germans have Sauerkraut which was originally fermented cabbage that had beneficial lactobacilli. The Koreans have Kimchi which is also fermented cabbage.The Japanese have several, one of which is natto, which is aprobiotic powerhouse. It is fermented soybeans. It has awful smell but I kind of like it. My Japanese friends say I am the only non-Japanese person they have ever seen eat it!!The point is that every healthy diet should include a live foodto balance the beneficial bacteria of the digestive system.So what is a PREbiotic?Miracle Noodles act a prebiotic. This means that by slowing downdigestion, it allows for the multiplication of the beneficial bacteria you eat. Are you starting to see why we call these Miracle Noodles?Regards,Jonathan CarpP.S. Ok, so have you gotten all the way to Lesson # 5 without even trying our noodles. You can get the 10 pack right now and be going prebiotic.
