What is a Probiotic
Going to Do to Help?
What many people don't realize is that the gastrointestinal tract, which makes up about 70% of your operating immune system, has bacteria living in the small and large intestines.
Most adults have about two pounds of this bacteria, which helps with digestion by breaking down food, inhibiting the growth of harmful substances and producing helpful vitamins and chemicals, including B-vitamins, Niacin, Folic Acid and Biotin.
But stress, poor diet, taking antibiotics and aging can affect the balance of these helpful bacteria, allowing more harmful microorganisms to take over and cause disease.
That's why taking a probiotic on a regular basis is so important.
How Can a Probiotic Help My Health Problems?
Those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Lactose Intolerance generally improve when taking probiotics.
So much so, in fact, that a study is now underway to study the effects of probiotics and how it can help depression.
Probiotics have also been know to help with a sluggish metabolism, prevent vaginitis, reduce cholesterol levels, build your immune system and even reduce the risks of developing tumors.
What is a Probiotic in Relation
To an Antibiotic?
The job of an antibiotic is to kill certain pathogens that are harming the body.
Unfortunately, antibiotics only work against bacterial infections.
They can do nothing to treat viral and fungal infections.
Also antibiotics kill off many of the helpful bacteria we need to maintain good health.
By making sure we have a healthy level of the good bacteria, we ensure that our bodies can ward off illnesses.
So think of taking probiotics as a preventative measure, as well as a way of feeling better overall.
If you have a backyard flock, don't forget to give them probiotics on a daily basis as well.
