Prebiotics Linked to Increased Lifespan
What are Prebiotics?
To avoid confusion, I want to reprint and condense the Wikipedia definition of prebiotics:
Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth or activity of bacteria in the digestive system which are beneficial to the health of the body.[1] They are considered a functional food. Many forms of soluble fiber have a prebiotic affect.
How do Prebiotics Help?
One study on rats demonstrated that they surived 33% longer than a control group that did not get fed prebiotics. Of course, they were fed the nutrient from birth until death. You can see the results here: prebiotics help extend lifespan.
Scientists believe that this natural fiber helps nourish the good bacteria in our colons, and in turn, helps our bodies absorb more nutrients from the food we eat. Particular attention has been paid to middle aged and older people who may be able to absorb more calcium from food with the addition of natural prebiotic supplements.
