Gut Bugs
Posted On September 18, 2008
We are symbiants with our food. Sorry. We just are.
And we need to recognize our biology, and the synergy it has with other living organisms, in order to have optimal health.
In fact, research has shown that adding “friendly” bacteria to your diet improves the health of your gut microflora. This can help protect both the lining of your intestinal tract and your immune system.
These bacteria are called probiotics, and similar to bacteria already present in your body. We’ve known about their health benefits for years, but now we are starting to become more aware of their importance.
Be careful, though, because many products will advertise probiotics in a pill. Your best source of nutrition will come when they come in the form of … food.
