We all know about probiotics, right? You know, they’re that good-for-you bacteria that do the most for you and your digestive system. But what about prebiotics? If you’re not familiar with them, allow us to tell you why they’re so important. Prebiotics are the Sonny to your probiotics’ Cher, and the Bey to your microbiome’s Jay. (Don’t make us keep going, because we will.) Simply put, prebiotics are the food for your probiotics. They stimulate growth and activity, and ultimately keep your probiotics happy so they can do all the good things they do. Without prebiotics, your probiotics — and gut health — can’t thrive. And trust us, you want it to thrive. So how do you get these magical prebiotics into your body? It’s simple, and can be as easy as a diet tweak — no supplements required (unless you’re into that). And while there’s a laundry list of foods that you can add in to your diet to get more prebiotics, here are our favorites to start with.
