THE BACTERIA THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU
A thousand jars are on the kitchen shelf, from vitamin D to iron and from magnesium to fish oil. In the morning I have a proper breakfast with twelve pieces, in the evening I take three more as dessert. By the way, they are all pure nature as you are used to from me, not that I will ruin my reputation later. Today I want to talk to you about one in particular. The jar that keeps my intestines calm does a whole lot more good for your body. Time for a lesson in the world of living bacteria. What is probiotics, what does it do and where can you find it?

- Millions of bacteria live in your gut flora. These bacteria keep your intestines healthy.
- Probiotics have the task of ensuring that your immunity is increased and that you get sick less quickly.
- You can also find probiotics naturally in sauerkraut, yogurt, and salami, but these are just a bit less effective.
- By using probiotics, your body can better absorb the minerals from certain foods.
- Probiotics can help with side effects of antibiotics, think of diarrhea.
