My awesome holiday recount

In my holiday I got to chill out and have some rest. I spent most of the first week playing Xbox with my brother and watching youtube. We made a blanket fort and shot Dad with nerf guns. In the last weekend we had friends over because their sister had a basketball tournament so we had lots of fun playing basketball and Xbox. Their sister got into the final but lost 41-46. Her team was happy though because they got into the final. That was my holiday It was really fun.       

The discovery of Kepler 452-B Quick create on this day

On this day in 2015 the exoplanet Kepler 452-B was found by the Kepler telescope

Mould Experiment

In class we have been learning about mould so we donated some food and put it in a bag and left it for the rest of the term. Some of ours did not go well but other were encased in mould.

Fermented food Journey

In class everyone made a fermented food. Me and Kahi did some Venison jerky and Kimchi

Quick Write

In class this term we have been doing Quick writes for every word of the day. This days word was mump.

I set adrift to get away from my parents because they wanted me to act more like them. I set off to my room in our woodland cabin by the massive lake where when you are in the middle you can’t see the sides and it looks like the middle of the pacific ocean. I borrowed my Dad’s raft and set adrift out to the middle where i could finally be alone and do what I wanted to. A few seconds later the oars I was using slipped from my grasp and floated away from me. I sat up in the boat trying to find a way back but I couldn’t see the shore anywhere.

“Why did I have to be such a mump” I said to the calm blue water

My boat violently rocked and I saw the giant fin of something that looked like it came from a nightmare. My boat flipped and I sunk to the bottom like a stone. A few minutes of pure agony I saw the light.

Prebiotics and Probiotics Venn diagram

At School this term we have been learning about Prebiotics and Probiotics. We all did a venn diagram about the differences of Prebiotics and Probiotics.

The Benefits of prebiotics explanation wiriting

This is my explanation on the benefits of Prebiotics. I did this because we are learning about fermenting foods and Prebiotics are a big part in fermented foods and are found in many of them. Comment if you like the writing and if there are any spelling mistakes or if I could work on anything.

The Benefits of Prebiotics

Prebiotics are the fibers your digestive system and salivary enzymes ( a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction) can’t  break down. They also enhance the growth of probiotics which are the good bacteria in your gut. These are some of the benefits of Prebiotics

Prebiotic fiber is a non-digestible part of foods like bananas, onions, garlic, the skin of apples, chicory root, beans, and many others. Prebiotic fiber goes through the small intestine undigested and is fermented when it reaches the large colon. This fermentation process feeds helpful bacteria colonies including probiotic bacteria and helps to increase the number of helpful bacteria in our digestive systems that are associated with better health and reduced disease risk.

Researchers have found that prebiotics are helpful in increasing the helpful bacteria already in the gut that reduce disease risk and improve general well being. Prebiotic fiber is not as fragile as probiotic bacteria because it is not affected by heat, stomach acid, or time. Nor does the fermentation process differ depending on the individual.

They may sound like the same thing or they do the same thing but what they do and how they help is amazingly different. Probiotics are friendly, helpful bacteria, and the benefit of probiotics is that they help with your overall wellness, not just gastrointestinal health.

Prebiotics, on the other hand, are a special type of fiber. It’s a fiber your digestive system cannot break down. But unlike other types of fiber, prebiotics are food that is specific for the good bacteria in your gut. They enhance the growth of probiotics.

So, the difference between probiotics and prebiotics is that while they are both trying to accomplish the same general thing—keeping your gut flora healthy—they approach it in different ways. To help you understand, let me explain with an analogy.

Bananas, onions, garlic, the skin of apples, chicory roots and beans have prebiotic fiber. Which you can wow your peers by telling them that the skin of their apple doesn’t get digested in the small intestine. Prebiotics are vital in making probiotics or helpful bacteria in your gut and that probiotics and prebiotics are completely different but are trying to achieve the same thing. Making your gut happy and healthy.
