Talking about intestinal microbiota is practically referring to the bacteria that live in your intestine, these are very important in the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients; they also help maintain a healthy immune system.
Prebiotic and probiotic foods help promote a healthy gut microbiota. Fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, are prebiotics that feed beneficial bacteria in the gut. While probiotic foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut and kefir, contain live bacteria that can colonize the gut and thus promote digestive health.
