While most people associate the word "bacteria" with something that can cause disease, there are beneficial bacteria, specifically probiotics, that are essential for maintaining good health.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are strains of bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of the flora in the human intestine. They break down food so that it can be digested and help strengthen the immune system. In other words, there may be harmful or beneficial bacteria in the digestive system, and the consumption of probiotics (through food or supplements) increases the amount of beneficial bacteria and strengthens their ability to decrease the amount of harmful bacteria.

Why is that important?
An imbalance of the beneficial and harmful flora can cause occasional indigestion, constipation and abdominal discomfort, among other digestive problems. In addition, its ability to properly absorb nutrients from food and supplements depends on the beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.
Not all probiotics are the same
The most common probiotic bacteria come from two groups: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Each group of bacteria covers different species with several strains, and each strain benefits different parts of the body in different ways. For example, Lactobacillus strains have been shown to support the immune system and help food pass through the digestive system correctly. The strains of Bifidobacterium can help relieve sensations of cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhea. But it is important to note that not all probiotics are the same and not all work the same way.
What are the benefits of probiotics?
While scientists have not been able to identify exactly how probiotics effectively manage to promote and support good health, they have discovered numerous advantages of supplementing their diet with beneficial bacteria. It has been shown that probiotics help:
1.- Protect and strengthen digestive health
2.- Strengthen the immune system by increasing the production of antibodies
3.- Encourage the body's ability to absorb nutrients
4.- Produce the necessary nutrients to metabolize the food you eat
Common sources of probiotics
What are the best ways to get additional probiotics in your daily diet? Probiotics are found in foods with abundant living species of bacteria and yeasts. Common sources include yogurt, "raw" or "live" sauerkraut, kim chee, some dark chocolates and miso soup. Because the actual levels of healthy probiotics can vary in food, a confidence supplement is recommended to ensure a consistent amount of probiotics each day.

Did you know?
The human body has one hundred billion microorganisms in the intestines, 10 times the number of cells in the human body.
The bacteria of the intestine depend totally on the host (the human body). It is extremely difficult to study them because they can not be grown in the laboratory.
