Application:
1. Inulin promotes healthy gut bacteria
Pre- and pro-biotics are good bacteria that help maintain gut health. Inulin is a probiotic. Foods like yogurt contain
probiotics. Prebiotics serve as food for probiotics. In this way, inulin is part of a chain of bacteria that keeps your
gut healthy and alleviates digestive problems.
2. Improve your digestive functions with inulin
Like other fibers, inulin helps digestion, prevents constipation, and keeps you regular. A large reason for this is because
of its probiotic properties.
3. Inulin can help manage diabetes
Because inulin is not digested, it does not affect glucose levels. This makes it an appropriate food for diabetics. It
is not counted as carbohydrate intake.
4. Improved bone health with inulin
Preliminary studies suggest that adding inulin to calcium-rich foods like yogurt may boost calcium absorption. This is good news for your bones!
