The typical adult human body consists of about 30 trillion human cells and about 38 trillion bacteria

, which means that for a healthy body, it’s important to consider the health of your microbiome. Maintaining a healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, and the roles of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics play crucial parts in achieving gut health.

These terms are often mentioned in discussions about digestive health and are important to the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiome, but it can be difficult to understand prebiotics vs. probiotics vs. postbiotics. Let’s dive into what each of these terms means and how they work together.

 are non-digestible fibers found in certain foods that nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut. One such prebiotic fiber is 

, which is used in most Hero Bread baked goods.*

 are live microorganisms, primarily bacteria, that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts.

Postbiotics are metabolic byproducts produced by probiotic bacteria during fermentation that confer health benefits to the host.

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as butyrate

Bacteriocins (antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria that inhibit or kill other bacteria)

Health Benefits of Pre, Pro and Postbiotics:

Working together, prebiotics and probiotics can help to support a healthy gut that produces plenty of postbiotics to improve digestion, blood sugar regulation and more.

While prebiotics provide the necessary food for beneficial bacteria, probiotics introduce live microorganisms that offer various health benefits. Postbiotics are the beneficial compounds produced by beneficial bacteria that support gut health and beyond.

: They promote the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria, which aids in digestion and reduces constipation.

: Prebiotics help improve the absorption of minerals like calcium and magnesium.

: Some studies suggest that prebiotics may help regulate blood sugar by feeding beneficial bacteria that then produce compounds like short chain fatty acids and peptides that play essential roles in reducing blood glucose levels.

: They help maintain a balance of gut bacteria, which can alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

: There is growing evidence that probiotics may have a positive impact on mood and cognitive function.

: Postbiotics and probiotics have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body.

Remember, consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can help you determine the best approach to incorporate prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics into your specific dietary needs and health goals.

Understanding Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Postbiotics

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone crucial for regulating insulin secretion, controlling blood sugar levels, and promoting satiety.

While a lot of recent news has focused on GLP-1 agonists (such as Ozempic® and Wegovy® among others) and their potential role in weight loss, our bodies produce GLP-1 as well.

Research has shown that some foods and lifestyle practices may also provide natural upregulation of GLP-1 production in the body. Increasing GLP-1 levels naturally can support better metabolic health and aid in weight management. This approach can be used alone or in tandem with GLP-1 agonists.

Consume More Foods Rich in Fiber and Protein

Whether you are just looking for natural ways to increase GLP-1 or supporting your journey with medication, foods with high nutrient density can support your health goals.

Fiber plays a key role in stimulating GLP-1 production. Soluble fibers like oatmeal, beans, and flaxseeds slow down digestion and nutrient absorption, prolonging the release of GLP-1 and insulin. Incorporating a variety of vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and carrots into your diet provides both soluble and insoluble fibers, supporting overall gut health and enhancing GLP-1 secretion.

In particular dietary resistant starch has been shown in studies to upregulate GLP-1 and PYY (Peptide YY, a hormone that can decrease appetite) in a sustained manner.

 Most Hero Bread products include resistant starch.*

 Consuming adequate protein also triggers GLP-1 release. Opt for lean protein sources like chicken, turkey, tofu, and legumes. These foods not only help in maintaining muscle mass but also aid in regulating appetite and glucose metabolism, indirectly supporting GLP-1 function.

Read more about how the added protein and fiber can help keep you feeling full.

 Probiotics promote a healthy gut microbiome, which influences GLP-1 production. Yogurt with live cultures, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi are excellent sources of probiotics. These foods introduce beneficial bacteria into your gut, enhancing nutrient absorption and potentially increasing GLP-1 levels.

Support probiotic growth with prebiotic-rich foods like garlic, onions, bananas, and asparagus. Prebiotics serve as food for the good bacteria in your gut, fostering a balanced microbiome environment that aids in GLP-1 regulation. 

. Most Hero Bread products include resistant starch.*

Regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercises like brisk walking, running, or cycling, can boost GLP-1 levels. Exercise stimulates muscle contractions and increases insulin sensitivity, which in turn enhances GLP-1 secretion. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week to reap metabolic benefits.

, but it also helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports weight management.


Wondering how to up your resistant starch intake? Look no further. From pantry staples to surprising cooking methods, here are five simple strategies to effortlessly incorporate more resistant starch into your daily meals.

Ways to Increase Resistant Starch in Your Diet

Here are just a few ways to boost your intake:


: Beans, lentils, and peas are excellent sources of resistant starch. Add them to soups, salads, or main dishes for a fiber and protein boost.

Enjoy Green Bananas and Plantains: Green bananas and plantains are rich in resistant starch. Incorporate them into smoothies, salads, or cook them as a savory side dish.

: It may sound wild, but some starchy foods like potatoes, rice, and pasta form resistant starch when cooked and then cooled. Enjoy leftovers as cold salads or reheat them for a quick meal.

Include Seeds: Incorporate seeds like chia seeds, 

, and hemp seeds into your meals and snacks. These seeds contain resistant starch and are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein.

Enjoy Delicious Bread: We’re partial to this one. Hero Bread baked goods incorporate

5 Ways to Get More Resistant Starch in Your Diet

If you’ve been trying to make better food choices, you might be used to hearing about all of the problems that starchy, carb-laden foods pose for wellness. So it can be a bit strange to hear that there are health benefits to resistant starches.


This often-overlooked dietary component holds a plethora of benefits for our overall health and well-being. From nurturing a thriving gut microbiome to aiding in weight management, the virtues of resistant starch are garnering attention from health enthusiasts and researchers alike.

Resistant starch is a type of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine, making its way to the large intestine. There, it ferments and feeds good bacteria in the intestinal tract. 

Unlike other starches, which are readily broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream, resistant starch behaves more like 

, exerting its effects primarily in the colon.


Resistant starches come in a variety of forms. They can be found naturally in whole grains and green bananas. Retrograded starch can be created when foods like potatoes, rice, and pasta are cooked and then cooled. They can also be modified from natural starches like wheat.

Improved digestive health and nurturing the gut biome:

Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial bacteria in the gut and promoting 

. This can enhance digestive health, reduce inflammation, and support immune function.

Dietary fibers, like resistant starches, feed beneficial bacteria that then produce compounds like butyrate, which has been suggested as having a role in the prevention and inhibition of colorectal cancer.

Unlike simple carbohydrates, which can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels and subsequent crashes, resistant starch has a minimal impact on blood glucose. By promoting feelings of fullness and satiety, it helps curb appetite and reduce overall caloric intake.

Some studies suggest that resistant starch may improve insulin sensitivity, helping the body better regulate blood sugar levels. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

Diets high in resistant starch are associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases such as 

. By promoting a healthy gut microbiome and supporting metabolic health, resistant starch contributes to overall disease prevention.

Our Favorite Easy Recipes for Summer 

Looking at the Hero Bread website, you’ll see a term popping up frequently in between pictures of delicious sandwiches, croissants, and quesadillas: net carbs. But what exactly does that mean, and why does it matter when it comes to your bread choice?

At heart, “net carbohydrates” are the carbs in food that are fully digestible and absorbed by the body. This is different from “total carbohydrates” as that includes all the different types of carbohydrates found in a food such as dietary fiber, which passes through the digestive system without being completely broken down and absorbed by the body.

, find the total amount of carbohydrates, and subtract:

Fiber consists of indigestible plant components vital for digestive health and other bodily functions. There are two main types: soluble fiber, which dissolves in water, and insoluble fiber, which doesn't.

These include sweeteners like allulose and monkfruit that have minimal impact on blood glucose levels. Some Hero Bread baked goods contain allulose and/or monkfruit.

Sugar alcohols are sweeteners with fewer calories, like xylitol, erythritol, and sorbitol, often used in sugar-free products. Hero Bread does not use sugar alcohols in our baked goods.

These are subtracted because the body doesn’t digest them, so they have little to no impact on blood glucose levels.


You can find this calculation on Hero Bread product packaging and product pages (under “Nutrition”) for ease of reference. These calculations note how many grams of fiber and sweeteners are being subtracted from the total carbs to reach the net carbs.

Why Fiber Matters: The Unsung Hero of Carbohydrates

 plays a crucial role in this equation. While it technically falls under the category of carbohydrates, fiber is indigestible and doesn't cause spikes in blood sugar like other carbs do. When we subtract fiber from the total carbs, we get a more accurate representation of the carbs that may spike blood sugar.

Fiber (particularly prebiotic fibers like the 

 in Hero Bread) has a lot of other benefits for health, such as improving gut health, aiding in controlling blood-sugar levels, and helping to maintain a healthy weight.

Whether you're on a low-carb or keto journey or simply striving to make better choices, knowing the net carb count of your bread can help give you a fuller picture of how what you’re eating will impact your body.



What Are Net Carbs?

Amidst supplements and superfoods and all kinds of recommendations for a healthier diet, one thing that’s often forgotten is the critical importance of feeling satisfied by your meals and snacks.

Why is satiety important to a healthy diet?

Feeling full is essential for a healthy diet for several reasons:

When you feel satisfied after a meal, you're less likely to overeat or crave unhealthy snacks between meals.

 Eating balanced meals that keep you feeling full helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Feeling full is a signal from your body that it has received adequate nourishment. This signal helps regulate appetite and prevent excessive eating.

Paying attention to feelings of fullness encourages mindful eating practices. This helps to build a healthier relationship with food, promoting enjoyment of meals without overindulgence.

Protein and fiber stand out as essential components, working synergistically to keep hunger at bay.

Protein is a fundamental nutrient known for its role in appetite regulation and muscle repair. Here's why it's crucial for keeping you feeling full:

Protein triggers the release of satiety hormones such as leptin and peptide YY

, signaling to the brain that you're satisfied.

, which provides a sustained release of energy so you feel full longer. In addition, 

. It takes more energy to digest, which aids in calorie expenditure.


, found in plant-based foods, adds bulk to meals and supports digestive health. It’s often mentioned for its importance to gut health (particular prebiotic fiber like the 

 in Hero Bread). Here's why it's also essential for satiety:

Fiber adds bulk to meals without extra calories, promoting a feeling of fullness.

Fiber slows down digestion, prolonging feelings of satiety and preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.

Insoluble fiber promotes bowel regularity, supporting overall digestive health.

Practical Tips for Incorporating More Protein and Fiber in Your Diet

We may be a bit biased, but incorporating Hero bread, buns and tortillas into your everyday meals increases your fiber and protein intake when compared with conventional breads. It still tastes as delicious and fluffy as your favorites, so you won’t feel deprived.

Use Hero Bread for sandwiches, toast, or as a side with meals to increase both protein and fiber intake. 

Make sure you include some additional protein and healthy fats to really amp up the fullness factor.

Choose protein and fiber-rich snacks such as Greek yogurt with berries, vegetable sticks with hummus, or a handful of nuts.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as hydration is essential for proper digestion and satiety.
