Ingested Bacteria With Healing Power

The Healing Power of Probiotics

Just because you are not sick doesn’t mean you are healthy

Little do we know that all human beings live with varied microorganisms found naturally in the depths of our digestive system and could be a major factor in determining the difference between health and disease. The gut system has good and bad bacteria and it is imperative to pay significant attention to change the odds against getting sick. What else might our good bacteria be doing for us? They may be helping with weight control and serving up anti-cancer compounds, therefore the best and most efficient pharmacy is within your own system. 

When someone mentions bacteria, most people will think of germs or infectious illness. But talk beneficial bacteria and I imagine nearly everyone will either picture a pot of yoghurt or at least make some kind of connection to the digestive system.  The idea that fermented foods (those that are made as a result of bacterial changes) might be healthy for humans is nothing new.  The use of fermentation as a way of preparing and preserving food is steeped in ancient traditions and, long before anyone knew anything about good gut bugs, so-called primitive peoples had already worked out for themselves that cultured dairy foods such as soured milk and yoghurts were somehow beneficial.  Thanks to modern research, we now know that the reason why fermented foods are good for us is because they contain beneficial strains of ‘live culture'.  These days, we have come to know these live cultures by another name – PROBIOTICS.

Now bang up-to-date, the word ‘probiotic’ is part of everyday advertising and an ingredient in a whole range of yoghurts, yoghurt-type drinks, (sometimes known as probiotic shots), milkshakes, smoothies, cereals, desserts, snacks, baby formula and, of course, supplements. Aside from foods, powders and pills, scientists are developing specific probiotics to prevent cavities, probiotic lozenges for sore throats, probiotic nasal sprays, and probiotics to guard against ear infections, and deodorant sticks that deal with the bacteria which cause body odour. They’re talking about probiotic vaccines which might be able to treat inflammatory diseases and even probiotic cleaning products for the home.

There is no doubt that maintaining the right level of beneficial bacteria in our intestines is incredibly important to the health of every human. That's because this mysterious micro flora protects us from a whole host of nasty diseases. It is, therefore, not an over-exaggeration to suggest that, in terms of health benefits and therapeutic activity, probiotics (especially when they are used in conjunction with important food substances known as prebiotics) could be the best alternative to healthy living and wellness.
