Centrum tip - Colon bacteria your buddies

Keep your colon healthy by including prebiotics in your diet. Prebiotics are non-digestible food products that stimulate the growth of "good" bacteria already present in the colon.

Take action:
Prebiotics include foods that contain substrates, like dietary fibre and fructo-oligosaccharides, that nourish the beneficial micro-organisms in the gut. It is therefore essential to include enough fibre in the diet by eating fruit, vegetables and whole-grains every day. Food sources of the fructo-oligosaccharides – which should also form part of your daily diet – include honey, beer, onion, asparagus, rye, banana, maple sugar and oats.
