"Fructooligosaccharides?"
Yes, It's a Mouthful, But If You're Committed to Healthy Eating Here's Why
You Need to Understand FOS!
Want to boost your energy and immunity so that you can fully enjoy
your life? Following the Body Ecology program and including FOS to feed
your healthy microflora is a great place to start!

Fructooligosaccharides -- or FOS, as it is more commonly known -- is becoming
more widely known in the world of health and nutrition for good reason!
Fructooligosaccharides can be used for all of these purposes:
- Encourage the growth of good bacteria and yeast in your gut
- Increase your dietary fiber intake
- Improve your digestion
- Can guard against cancer
- Relieve constipation and irritable bowel
- Add body and flavor to baked goods and beverages
- Are a virtually calorie-free addition to your diet
What Are Fructooligosaccharides?
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short and medium chain sugar molecules that
your body cannot digest.
FOS passes through your stomach and into your intestines where beneficial
bacteria (also known as probiotics) and yeast feed on them.
There, they help you digest food, cleanse your system, and enhance your immunity.
FOS are the prebiotics
that feed the probiotics
in your intestines to keep you healthy and strong.
In other words, FOS provides food to help healthy microflora (probiotics)
thrive in your intestines. Yes, just like us, microflora need healthy food
to thrive.
Where Do I Find Fructooligosaccharides?
Now that you know all the different ways your body can use fructooligosaccharides,
where do you actually get them?
FOS are naturally present in these vegetables:
- Jerusalem artichoke
- Chicory root
- Leeks
- Onions
- Garlic
Try cooking with these vegetables to add more fiber-rich FOS in your diet
to feed your good bacteria. While you can also find FOS in foods like bananas,
wheat and barley, these foods can feed pathogenic yeast (candida).
Foods that feed candida and other pathogens are removed from your diet in
the first 3 months of the Body Ecology program, until you have established
a healthy inner ecosystem and have boosted your immunity. In stage one your
focus will be to conquer your fungal infection, establish a healthy inner
ecosystem in your intestines, create energy to heal and boost your immunity.
So the sources of FOS you eat are important for your health!
For an even easier and more portable way to add fructooligosaccharides to
your diet, one that won't feed candida or pathogenic bacteria, try Body Ecology's

The Right FOS
If improving your health is important to you, then building your inner ecosystem
is the best place to start. In fact, establishing an inner ecosystem in your
abdominal "hara" center is like building the foundation for your
house. When you have the right balance of good micorflora (healthy bacteria
and yeast), you are able to keep the bad guys (like candida) at bay, digest
your foods, feel balanced and happier, and live a longer and healthier life.
Many foods out there are "healthy," but even so-called healthy
foods can harm your health if you are battling an overgrowth of bad bacteria
and yeast. Perfect examples are carrots, beets, wheat grass or brown rice;
all contain too much sugar.
Following the Body Ecology program is your best defense against pathogenic
yeast, bacteria and viruses. Each of the foods on the program have been researched
and tested over decades to create thriving inner ecosystems.
FOS is a great way to encourage the growth of healthy microflora. Selecting
the right type of FOS goes a long way to creating the kind of balance that
will keep your immunity strong.
