I know for most people, the thought of probiotics invokes images of yogurt. However, household medicine cabinets are now being stocked with a probiotic supplement because of its many benefits. The latest probiotic research suggests that live-active cultures of these friendly bacteria can help to prevent and treat a wide variety of ailments.
Each of us has more than 1,000 different types of bacteria that live in our digestive tracts, helping us to break down food and absorb nutrients. The intestinal micro flora aid in digestion, synthesize vitamin and nutrients, support the development and functioning of the gut, enhance the immune system, and metabolize some medications. When we take antibiotics, they can kill healthy intestinal flora that helps us digest. Probiotics make a nice compliment to antibiotics among people who suffer from urinary tract infections because they prevent bad bacteria from invading the urinary tract by maintaining a population of healthy bacteria. About 30% of the patients who take antibiotics report suffering from diarrhea or some other form of gastrointestinal distress.
What’s more, Stanford University researchers found that obese people had different gut bacteria than normal-weighted people, a first indication that gut flora plays a role in overall weight. Some preliminary research shows that probiotics can help obese people who have received weight loss surgery to maintain weight loss.
Adding probiotics to your daily regimen can help guard against illness and keep you healthy.
