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?

  1. Probiotics are nothing less than living bacteria.
  2. They can be found in your favorite cup of yogurt, but you can also take them in the form of a supplement.
  3. Millions of bacteria live in your gut flora. These bacteria keep your intestines healthy.
  4. Probiotics have the task of ensuring that your immunity is increased and that you get sick less quickly.
  5. You can also find probiotics naturally in sauerkraut, yogurt, and salami, but these are just a bit less effective.
  6. By using probiotics, your body can better absorb the minerals from certain foods.
  7. Probiotics can help with side effects of antibiotics, think of diarrhea.
  8. Probiotics can help with irritable bowel syndrome.

  12. Runny nose? Probiotics then.
