Digestive Health

Digestive Health encompasses a number of conditions that affect the digestive system.

Digestive Health can benefit from a well balanced nutritious diet that is high in fibre and includes probiotics and prebiotics. As fibre only comes from plant sources, a healthy diet should contain many sources of whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that are added to foods to aid in digestive health. They can be found in a variety of products and supplements, such as milk or soy yogurt. Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the digestive system. A diet focusing on digestive health should consider choosing foods that contain these three items.
