New research shows that prebiotics may be the key to better sleep. In the study, animals on a prebiotic diet (dietary fibres that the body can’t digest, such as onions, whole grains and leeks) experience­d better sleep and were buered from the physiologi­cal impacts of stress. The theory? The prebiotic compounds found in fibrous foods nourish good bacteria and, in turn, have a positive effect on the brain.
