Prebiotics: The Essential Nutrient for Peaceful Immunity

Prebiotics serve as the nourishment for beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, within our bodies. These probiotics are not only found in the gut but also in the mouth and on the skin, each requiring specific types of prebiotics. Over the past 50 years, increased personal hygiene practices have disrupted the balance of probiotics in the mouth and on the skin. By adopting moderate oral and skin hygiene practices and regularly feeding these probiotics with the right prebiotics, we can help.

Our bodies contain many types of bacteria, including “good” bacteria called probiotics. These probiotics safeguard our immune system from misfiring at the wrong time. However, our very clean modern lifestyles may reduce these helpful bacteria, leading to what experts call “probiotic deficiency syndrome.”

Rates of these conditions have risen over time, leading some researchers to believe our ultra-clean lifestyles play a role. Our research shows that having too few probiotics that produce substances called short-chain fatty acids is key. These good bacteria keep the immune system from overreacting.

Here’s a simple explanation:

– Probiotics are good bacteria that make substances to balance the immune system.

– Probiotic Deficiency Syndrome: Not having enough probiotics leads to an overactive immune system.

– Prebiotics are the food for Probiotics that can only produce the beneficial substance when growing with sufficient nutrition.

Probiotic deficiencies occur in different body areas: the mouth, skin, and gut. Each area needs certain good bacteria—local or body-wide problems can occur if they are lacking.

Treatment involves supporting the regrowth of good bacteria through supplements and avoiding too much cleaning/sterilizing, especially in the mouth. A high-fiber diet also helps probiotics repopulate after infection or antibiotics.

Prevention through diet, supplements if needed, and not over-sterilizing is critical to maintaining the delicate bacterial balance in the body – especially after events that can throw it off.

Keeping communities of good bacteria in balance is vital for a functioning immune system. We can support this balance through our diets, moderate hygiene practices, and use of prebiotics.
