Ah! So, you found yourself looking at the sodas during your shopping trip at the mart “again.”. But you’re worried about maintaining your health routine. Here come brands like Olipop, Poppi, Sunsip, and XOXO with a “healthy” alternative of probiotic sodas. You‘ve probably seen these brands on a trip and wondered if the “prebiotic” claims are true or what they are.
So, let’s clear up some doubts [at a quick healthy-way-4-u pace].
Prebiotics: another buzzword? made before the Biotic time period?
Prebiotics, also known as probiotic bacteria, are essential nutrients for your gut biome. These are the non-digestible fibers and compounds that reach your colon through the gastro-highways and help nourish and stimulate the gut garden. Research shows their effect on reducing constipation and inflammatory bowel disease. So, one either takes prebiotic-rich food like onions, garlic, bananas, or oats and barley. Sounds like a hassle; take them in pill form or supplements; that works too.
Healthy Twist on Sodas: Prebiotic?
You may feel guilty about consuming sodas that are high in sugar, artificial sweeteners, and calories. Prebiotic sodas are an alternative to these dilemmas. They often have a lower amount of added sugar and sweeteners, like those “diet” sodas with the added benefit of prebiotic-fiber content in them. Many of the prebiotic soda brands offer the right amount of fiber content in them (5-9 grams) compared to the daily recommended dose of 10 grams. They also contain significantly less sugar than traditional sodas (>40 grams), but they are neither “calorie-free” nor “zero-calorie.”
In conclusion, for someone who doesn’t have fiber content in their meal plans and wants to stay away from the dangers of the traditional sodas, prebiotic sodas are the answer. It’s a delicious and yummy way to get the goody-good prebiotic fibers in your diet, and that too without any guilt. What more can you ask for?
A word of caution:
Remember, like anything in life, greed that knows no bounds brings ruin. Prebiotics Sodas may sound the “healthy way,” but in excess they may cause some dryness and damage. We should consume them in moderation, not as a replacement for food diets and water. “Embrace moderation in your life, and you’ll be fine.”
