The bacterial content in your gut has immense impact on your overall body health. Probiotic microorganisms support many vital functions in your body, including digestion, building immune response, etc. If you are on a course of antibiotics, taking probiotic supplements will help the body counter various side effects that antibiotics create.
Live probiotics have the ability to prevent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), which is a primary reason for fatalities among intensive care patients.
Probiotics are very beneficial for the human gut and are useful in the treatment of conditions like ulcers, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis. All these are diseases that occur from a lack of healthy gut bacteria.
Taking probiotics before and during pregnancy enhances the immune content of mother’s milk. If breastfeeding is not possible, prebiotics and probiotics may be added to a baby formula to supply the required nutrients.
Symptoms of gluten sensitivity (GS) and celiac disease can also be lessened by taking probiotics daily.
A healthy balance of “friendly” bacteria and yeasts in your gut helps to avoid cancer. These bacteria nourish enzymes that impede the production of tumors throughout the body.
Bacterial imbalance caused by pathogens can result in Candida and other yeast infections. Probiotics play a vital role in replenishing the “good” bacteria and balancing out the levels of gut bacteria.
Eating processed and low-fiber foods stimulates production of pathogenic bacteria, which lowers the levels of “good” bacteria and diminishes colon performance. Adding foods rich in probiotics can help counter such pathogens.
The presence of GMOs and antibiotics in processed and non-organic dairy products lowers the probiotic content in the body. Therefore, it is necessary to consume probiotic-rich foods to replenish the bacterial population in the body.
Diets rich in probiotics can help improve inflammatory conditions in patients suffering from autism.
X-Rays and CT scans pose the risk of radiation for patients. An adequate probiotic content in the body prevents damage to the small and large intestines through radiation.
