5 Reasons You Should Be Taking a Probiotic
A DAILY DOSE OF PROBIOTICS IS KEY TO A HAPPY AND HEALTHY BODY
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. These are the main reasons why probiotics are so important:
1. THEY FIGHT THE BAD WITH THE GOOD
Beneficial bacteria in the gut are essential for combating bacterial infections that may occur for a number of reasons, such as poor quality food, excessive sugars in the diet, excess alcohol, deep fried foods and other poor eating habits.
2. THEY HELP YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FOOD
They support the rebuilding and repair of the intestinal wall and they help your body to absorb nutrients.
3. THEY FIGHT INFECTIONS
They boost immunity in the gut. When you have to take antibiotics, they kill off the bad bacteria of the infection, but they also kill off the beneficial bacteria (pre- and probiotics) in the gut, leaving the digestive system open to any other infections. This is one of the main reasons why so many people in hospital develop secondary infections when they have been on antibiotics.
4. THEY BOOST YOUR MIND
It is now thought that probiotics help to support your mood and the state of mind you are in. 85% of serotonin receptor sites are in your gut, not in your brain. Serotonin is a hormone-like neurotransmitter that creates positivity, happiness, laughter and fun. Probiotics help to ensure that the serotonin receptor sites are flourishing in the gut.
5. THEY WORK BETTER IN CAPSULE FORM
With all this understanding of what they are responsible for, why wouldn’t you take them? However, you need to know how to take them properly in order to be able to fully benefit. Sadly, they are not as effective when included in a so-called ‘healthy’ probiotic yoghurt, as the yoghurt has to contain the equivalent of many teaspoons of sugar to feed the living bacteria, many of which do not survive the acidic environment of the stomach, due to the high level of acid in there.
They are best taken in capsules, that allow the release of millions of the living probiotic organisms to reach the intestinal area of the gut. My favorite brand is Daily Body Restore. I take one capsule before I eat or drink anything in the morning, and two before going to bed, when the digestive system is repairing and healing itself as I sleep.
