Immediately after taking Antibiotics (especially, for the treatment of typhoid), EAT FUFU more....
Those antibiotic drugs, while they target harmful bacteria (like the Salmonella typhi, the causative organism for Typhoid), they also destroy beneficial bacteria in our intestines.
These beneficial intestinal bacteria are called GUT PROBIOTICS.
These Gut probiotics function especially in STRENGTHENING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM and REDUCING INFLAMMATION.
You see how important they are...
Our traditional Nigerian fufu is a very good PREBIOTIC, meaning that they're nourishing foods for these beneficial intestinal bacteria (the PROBIOTICS); when they (the prebiotics) are abundant in the intestines, the gut probiotics feed on them, growing and multiplying.
The more they grow and multiply, the stronger your immune system, and the less likely you'll be vulnerable to inflammation.
Additionally, FUFU has a lower glycemic index compared to other swallows; in other words, fufu won't spike bl00d sugar like other swallows.
In descending order according to their Kilocalories/100g (on approximation):
Garri (Eba): 363; Wheat: 360; Semo: 322; Amala: 141; Yam: 126; Akpu (fufu): 98.
Other prebiotics include Cabbage, bananas, leeks, beans, oats, garlic, onions etc.

Fufu is legendary.✅
