Prebiotics: Tending Our Inner Garden
Subscribe for free to Dr. Greger's videos at: bit.ly/nutritionfactsupdates DESCRIPTION: Why our immune system confuses unhealthy diets with dysbiosis—an overrun of bad bacteria in our colon. Some foods don’t just lack fiber but may interact with our gut flora to contribute to disease in other ways. Check out my last video Microbiome: The Inside Story (nutritionfacts.org/video/microbiome-the-inside-story). This amazing prebiotic story helps explain why fiber-rich (i.e. whole plant) foods are so good for us. See, for example, Dr. Burkitt’s F-Word Diet (nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-burkitts-f-word-diet/). This reminds me of The Broccoli Receptor: Our First Line of Defense (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-broccoli-receptor-our-first-line-of-defense-2/), in terms of our body using what we eat as cues to optimize immune function.
