Prebiotics and Weight Management

How prebiotic fibres support weight management by nourishing healthy gut bacteria.

Prebiotics are special types of dietary fibre that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome may help with weight control by improving metabolism and reducing inflammation.

Prebiotics, such as inulin and fructooligosaccharides, selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids that enhance satiety hormone secretion and improve insulin sensitivity.

Incorporating prebiotic-rich foods into your diet supports gut health and may enhance the effectiveness of a weight management programme at NuLifeCare Singapore.
