Good Bacteria
Most people are surprised to hear that the body contains good bacteria. A popular belief is that all bacteria is bad but that's not true! Many bacteria play important roles to help maintain health and vitality.
Friendly bacteria helps fight off the bad bacteria and break down undigested food that makes it to the colon to create nutrients which the body can absorb. As a result, we rely on these friendly bacteria to support our immune system and keep us healthy.
Certain types of fibres, called prebiotic fibres, feed and stimulate the growth of friendly bacteria.
This keeps them healthy to aid in the body's natural digestive processes.
This yet another reason why getting enough fibre everyday is essential to your good health!
