What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are live microorganisms with clinically
documented health benefits.Our bodies are designed to
function best with millions of these friendly probiotic
bacteria living in our intestinal tract.
When we are healthy, over 100 trillion of them flourish in
our intestinal tract. They help with digestion, absorption
and the production of significant amounts of B vitamins and
enzymes. Most importantly, they overpower the negative, bad
bacteria.
WHY DO WE NEED PROBIOTICS?
We need Probiotics in our body because they help to boost
our immunity and guard against many illnesses. Most people
eat a terrible diet composed of highly processed foods that
are filled with chemicals and simple sugars and
carbohydrates, these are seriously lacking in probiotics.
Because of the heavy use of pesticides and fertilisers,
these soil-based microorganisms (probiotics) are no longer
living in the dirt of most farms. Drinking chlorinated
water destroys our intestinal flora. Even farm animals are
fed antibiotics to keep diseases down and of course
antibiotics kill off the good bacteria.
Regrettably, most people do not realise that the health
they are experiencing has a direct connection to the
billions of beneficial microorganisms that live in their
gastrointestinal tract.
WHAT DESTROYS GOOD BACTERIA?
Significantly for 'baby boomers' Probiotics can make a big
difference to how we look, feel and rejuvenate.As we age,
the colonies of friendly bacteria just naturally age and
lose their vitality and ability to fight off negative
bacteria.
Life style and stress disrupt the effectiveness of the good
bacteria. Anti-inflamatory drugs destroy the good fauna in
our tract. Chlorine in drinking water, kills bacteria but
also destroys the ecology of the fauna in our intestine.
All meat and chicken (not organic) are injected with
antibiotics, these destroy all the good bacteria. Processed
foods are filled with chemicals, sugars and
carbohydrates-not good news for probiotic bacteria.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING PROBIOTICS?
Lowered cholesterol Cleaner intestinal tract. B-Lymphocyte
and related anti-body production stimulated. Help to kill
viruses and parasites. Allergies and skin problems are
aided by taking probiotic bacteria Yeast and fungal
infections may be prevented with supplements of probiotics.
Protection against stomach ulcers.
A Healthy intestinal tract is one of the body's first lines
of defense against invaders and it enhances healthy immune
function. Experts now believe that declining levels of
friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract may actually
indicate the onset of chronic degenerative diseases. It is
therefore essential to take supplements to maintain these
important microorganisms.
