Feb

Even though many people are not aware of it, humans have lots of tiny life forms living inside them that assist with the everyday functioning of the human body. These life forms are bacteria that live in the digestive system and they are known as probiotics. They help with the digestion of essential nutrients and without them our bodies would not be able to process much of the food we eat today. Humans are not the only animals with these probiotics. Cows can eat grass because of them and pandas are able to digest bamboo because of the probiotics in their systems.

Probiotics are highly beneficial to our health, so it’s important that we support their growth, which is where prebiotics come in. Prebiotics are non-digestible substances in foods that benefit the growth of the probiotics. The most popular form of prebiotics is called inulin, which is an insoluble fiber contained in lots of fruits, vegetables, herbs, whole grains and wheat.  Prebiotics have the greatest effect when they are ingested with the presence of soluble fibers that the body does digest, meaning they are best taken in the presence of food.

The GenoVive DNA Diet knows how important prebiotics are to people who are trying to burn fat and lose weight. That is why prebiotics are contained in many of the home delivered meals including:  Frappes, pasta, and several snack bars such as the Peanut Butter Cookie Bar, Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar, Double Chocolate Brownie Bar, Cherry Cashew Bar, Cocoa Coconut Bar and Cranberry Apple Nut Bar. Eating these items from the program will enable your digestive system to function better and can even decrease the body’s ability to create certain kinds of fats.
