Dr. Wendy Christien oor prebiotika en probiotika: Gesondheid, spysvertering & immuniteit

Loading player...
In hierdie insiggewende episode van Radio Cape Pulpit verduidelik Dr. Wendy Christien die verskil tussen prebiotika en probiotika, en hoe albei bydra tot ‘n gesonde spysverteringstelsel en algehele welstand. Prebiotika is onverteerbare dieetvesels (soos inulien, galakto-oligosakkariede en frukto-oligosakkariede) wat die groei van voordelige bakterieë in die ingewande aanmoedig. Dit word gevind in voedsel soos knoffel, uie, aspersies, sojabone, volgraan, hawermout, piesangs, sigorei en Jerusalem artisjokke. Prebiotika help met gereelde stoelgang, verlaag cholesterol, reguleer bloedsuiker, verbeter beendigtheid, verminder inflammasie, beheer eetlus, verlaag die risiko van kolonkanker, help met ontgifting, verbeter immuunrespons en verminder voedselintoleransies. Probiotika is lewendige voordelige mikroörganismes (bakterieë en gis) wat die spysverteringstelsel inokuleer. Dr. Christien noem ook ‘n spesiale tipe, spoorgebaseerde probiotika, wat dormant is en nie deur maagsuur of hitte vernietig word nie. Sy gee haar kontakbesonderhede vir verdere navrae.
