Eating Probiotics after age 50 have been shown to:

Increase your immune system's ability to fight off infection

Improve diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics or following a course of chemotherapy

Reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Prebiotics, the fiber found in some foods, work with the probiotics to create a symbiotic effect that is beneficial for you. Prebiotic foods allow the probiotics (or good bacteria) to grow more easily and increase their power to help keep your body healthy.

Prebiotics are fiber-rich foods that feed the good bacteria in your gut.

It's important that you eat both prebiotics and probiotics to reap the full benefits of each. Prebiotic foods allow the probiotics (or good bacteria) to grow more easily and increase their power to help keep your body healthy. Here are some examples of prebiotic sources:

Asparagus

Bananas

Garlic cloves (peeled)

Onions (raw, cooked, caramelized or sautéed)

The benefits of each on their own are impressive, but together they become a powerful 1-2 punch. Probiotics feed off of prebiotics, which creates more health benefits such as decreased inflammation

Probiotic benefits are quite impressive, but the results of prebiotics on probiotics are even more so.

Probiotics are good bacteria that help your digestive system maintain proper balance and function. They can improve regularity, reduce inflammation and bloating, alleviate constipation, and even aid in weight loss. Prebiotics are fiber that helps probiotics grow in your gut. It's a bit like soil: without it, there's no food for the plants to grow on.

Increase nutrient absorption and boost metabolism

Probiotics help your body absorb more nutrients and fight off harmful bacteria. In addition, the right probiotic can improve the balance of good and bad bacteria in your intestines, which can help you lose weight and lower cholesterol levels. Research shows that probiotics also boost metabolism, making it easier to burn fat as fuel. Probiotics also improve digestion by reducing intestinal inflammation, allowing food to pass through the digestive tract more quickly.

Reduce digestive problems like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and diarrhea

Probiotics can help reduce digestive problems like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), diarrhea, and constipation. They have also been shown to be effective in treating bloating, gas, and pain from food allergies or intolerances.

Improve skin condition and reduce acne

If you're in your 50s or older, you might be dealing with acne. This can be especially frustrating since it's often difficult to find a treatment that works.

The good news is there are some natural options that offer help: probiotics and prebiotics. These supplements contain bacteria that may improve skin health by reducing inflammation and increasing nutrient absorption, which helps prevent breakouts.

Improve immunity and decrease allergies

Probiotics are good for your immune system, so they can help with allergies as well. Probiotic foods include yogurt and kombucha, both of which are easy to find at your local grocery store. If you're looking for something more exotic, try adding kimchi or sauerkraut to your diet. These probiotic foods are perfect ways to add some zest to traditional meals like tacos or soups!
