Popping probiotics and still having digestive problems? Here's a novel solution: Gobble a handful of almonds. The Institute of Food Research recently reported that almonds act as prebiotics that function as food for probiotics, the good bacteria that restore a healthy balance of gut flora. "This results in better digestion, fewer infections, and less inflammation," says Gary Huffnagle, PHD, author of The Probiotics Revolution (Bantam, 2007) and a professor of internal medicine, microbiology, and immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School. Almonds are also an excellent source of vitamin E, protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats.
