Probiotics for a healthy gut

The term probiotics has been floating around the alternative health arena for quite some time now. What are they? Probiotics, to put it simply, are living microorganisms that can be found in the human gut. They are the friendly bacteria that when given in tolerable amounts, can greatly benefit the body. Many have started using probiotics in congruence with colon hydrotherapy to alleviate certain aliments such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, stomach inflammation, periodontal disease and skin infections.

Where are they found?

Probiotics can be found in a variety of food products and dietary supplements. Food that contains probiotics includes milk, yogurt, some juices, soy beverages and miso.

Uses for health

So why is such a big deal for health? These friendly bacteria are crucial to the development of the immune system and are used to protect against bad bacteria in the gut that can cause disease. They also are vital for digestion and the absorption of nutrients within the body. The balance in a person’s gut can play a major role in disease and can be affected by antibiotics and unfriendly bacteria. Therefore, probiotics can be used to treat diarrhea, to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer, to shorten the duration of intestinal infections and to prevent urinary tract infections.
