Probiotics "The Good Bacteria"


Probiotics are live microorganisms with potentially therapeutic and clinically documented health benefits. They can dramatically increase overall nutrition and enhance rapid cellular growth and development. Probiotics strengthen the immune system, due to the support to the immune system, they have been used in alleviating allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome and systemic candida. They produce huge pools of extra anti-bodies, ready to protect and defend against infection. Probiotic bacteria work in symbiosis with tissue and organ cells to metabolize proteins and help eliminate toxic wastes from the body.

Constipation is quickly relieved by probiotics and the bowel movements become normalized, which means diarrhea is also reduced. Yeast and fungal infections are prevented and sometimes eliminated with supplements of probiotics. Probiotics can help reduce intestinal inflammation and hypersensitivity reactions in infants with food allergies and those suffering from atopic eczema. They also may help to prevent liver damage caused by excessive alcohol intake. Not all bacteria are harmful, however, just think of the ‘good bugs’ that are used to bake bread and make wine and beer. Hmmm…now that I think of it, I’m going to get some right now! Probiotics that is!
