Holiday Nutrition

Professor Brenda Smith talks strategy for overall gut health and eating during the holidays.

Nutritional sciences professor Brenda Smith emphasizes a diet's effect on immune responses and challenges viewers to recognize their holiday eating habits.

Here are a few helpful tips from this segment of #AsktheExperts: 

  • Prebiotics, non-digestible carbohydrates, are optimal for gut health and enhancing overall immune system performance.
  • It is suggested that prebiotics should receive more stress than probiotics when in regards to gut health.
  • When it comes to overall health, what you eat should have more emphasis than how much you eat.
