9. Stronger Bones
Non-digestible carbohydrates called prebiotics, a form of fiber, can help increase the absorption of calcium in the lower intestines. Prebiotic fiber contributes to changes in the metabolism of calcium and other minerals and has been shown to improve bone health, mineral density, and skeletal strength.
Eating plenty of prebiotic fiber helps build a healthy skeleton during the growing years and also helps prevent and reduce bone density loss from osteoporosis later in life.
