Probiotic Cures

Oftentimes in biology class we were never taught that there actually is a such thing as good bacteria. The body actually has billions upon billions of healthy bacteria in it. This bacterium is used to fight illness and disease. Unfortunately, due to poor nutrition and lifestyle many people can have more bad bacteria in the body than good. Many times when people are on medication, antibiotics or their diet lacks in certain nutrients, the body can be depleted of good bacteria. You can cure yourself of many ailments by replenishing the body with probiotics-healthy bacteria.

Benefits of Probiotics

• The body needs to have a healthy amount of probiotics. Probiotics reside in the large colon. When we drink chlorinated and fluoridated water, probiotics are decreased in the body. Also alcohol, allopathic drugs and medication can also deplete the good bacteria in the body. This tends to cause diseases in the body such as Candida, yeast infections, bloating, diarrhea, eczema in children, irritable bowel syndrome, vaginal infections, tooth decay, paradontal disease and other ailments. Introducing probiotics can cure all of these issues. In some shape, fashion, or form we all have allowed bad bacteria to outweigh the good based upon stress, eating habits and other factors. What is important is replenishing them. However, even when we detox our body or use enemas a certain amount of good bacteria is removed as well.

Supplementing Probiotics

• There are a few ways to get probiotics in the body. In your local health food store you can purchase probiotics in tablet and/or liquid form. The number of probiotics in each serving is very important. You want to ensure that when you are taking probiotics you are obtaining enough to outnumber the bad bacterial. Also, when taking probiotics some of the bacteria can die on the way down to the stomach and intestine due to the acids and enzymes in the body. Use caution when purchasing probiotics in the store as they are all not created equal. The goal of probiotics is to get to the large colon. If the majority of the good bacteria dies on the way there, you are wasting money. If you decide to purchase probiotics in tablet form, make sure it is enteric coated. This will allow it to make it as close as possible to the large colon where the majority of good and bad bacteria reside. Also yogurt is a great probiotic. Make sure you do not eat yogurt that is flavored or has fruit in it. Plain, yogurt contains the live cultures of probiotics. Science is still researching the many benefits of probiotics. The good news is that there has been enough conclusive evidence that probiotics is beneficial to the body.
