“Vigilance to cues of threat or danger is greater in highly anxious individuals and those with high cortisol levels compared with low-anxious individuals. Prebiotics promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria such as Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria and also have been shown to have neurotrophic effects in animals.”

“Knee osteoarthritis pain is often only treated as a problem of joint degeneration, but growing evidence suggests the gut may also play a role in how that pain is perceived. Researchers tested whether inulin, a prebiotic fiber, could reduce symptoms on its own or when paired with a digital physiotherapy program.”

“Here are a few promising options to improve gut health, though they've not been studied for alcohol use disorder per se: Probiotics and prebiotics to improve gut microbiota composition, gut barrier integrity, and inflammation.”

“She also talks about fermentable fiber and other prebiotics that feed beneficial bacteria in the gut that are present in the vegetables and fruits. Additionally, she explains why she adds hydrolyzed collagen powder to her smoothie.”

“Foods that contain prebiotics include asparagus, beets, garlic, chicory, onion, Jerusalem artichoke, grains, and breast milk. Probiotics are live bacteria – either in foods or supplements – that, when consumed, promote or maintain a healthy population of gut microbes.”

“Rather, the primary role of HMOs is to serve as prebiotics to induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria in the infant gut. In turn, these beneficial bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids and other substances that prevent colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the gut.”

“More than 200 HMOs have been identified, and they are the third most abundant factor in breast milk after fat and lactose. The primary role of HMOs is to serve as prebiotics – compounds that induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria.”

“Coffee polyphenols can activate NRF2-regulated defenses, and many of these compounds remain in decaffeinated coffee. They also reach the colon, where the coffee matrix can act as a prebiotic substrate rather than as one isolated chemical.”

“Prebiotics are food components that support the maintenance of a healthy microbiota and create an environment that is conducive to its survival. Fructo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, and trans-galacto-oligosaccharides are the most common prebiotics.”

“A recent study found that inulin, a prebiotic derived from chicory root, alters the gut microbiome, reducing the intensity of the brain's reward system activation. Researchers gave 59 overweight young to middle-aged adults 30 grams of inulin or a placebo every day for two weeks.”
