Probiotics and Prebiotics – What is the Difference?

March 29th, 2009 by Mary | 1 Comment | Filed in Digestive Supplemets

What are the Probiotics? Probiotics are living microorganisms that make your intestinal environment better.

Where do they come from? Probiotic microorganisms can be found in both supplement form and as components of foods and beverages. Certain yogurts and some other cultured dairy products contain probiotics.

What are the Prebiotics? Prebiotics are non-digestive food that enhances the intestinal levels of probiotics.

Where do they come from? Prebiotics mostly come from carbohydrate fibers. These kinds of fibers are non-digestive. They remain in the digestive tract and feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Sources of such fibers include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.Rainbow Light's Advanced Enzyme Optima w/ Prebiotics & Probiotics 90 Vcaps

If you want to take probiotics and prebiotics in the supplement form, try mixes. Sometimes you can find products where prebiotics are mixed with the probiotics. It is then called symbiotic formula. This type of formula promises that probiotics that you take this way survive longer in your intestines and do lots of good for you. Sometimes symbiotic formula is mixed with enzymes. One of such products is Rainbow Light’s Advanced Enzyme Optima w/ Prebiotics & Probiotics 90 vcaps.

burn fat while you sleepMany of us want to know how to stay in shape without doing much in the GYM. Most of us want to know how to burn fat while sitting on the couch. Recently, I have found two very simple ways that will burn your fat for you no matter where you are in the GYM or on the couch.

Nr. 1: Take a table spoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar before each meal. If you can not find it in the health food stores, then buy apple cider vinegar capsules or tablets. It will increase the fat-burning process in your body. This process will be so powerful that even stored fat will be affected.

Nr. 2: Take a table spoon of organic virgin coconut oil before each meal. This oil will help your food pass through the digestive tract quicker, stopping the conversion of food into the fat. It will also stimulate the thyroid, increasing metabolism and making you burn stored fat even while you sleep.

If you know other nutrients, please post them in the comments.
