Healthy Snack Ideas
They even help assist in digestion and the absorption of nutrients. With that in mind, I would concur that it should behoove all of us to pay close attention to what happens through out our entire GI tract, especially the colon and the importance of keeping it in balance for optimal overall health and for disease prevention. Suffice it to say, probiotics are beneficial agents that can exert favorable effects on health.
Studies in germ-free mice have proven that without these bacteria, the systemic immune system will not function normally. Medical studies show that replenishing the gut with probiotics not only provide a natural way toward a healthy lifestyle, but may also help the body cure itself of some "incurable" diseases. The University of Michigan did a study with 40 patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
In this double blind study, 20 were given probiotics and 20 were given a placebo. Their results were clear; Probiotics were more effective than the placebo in treating symptoms of IBS. 20 out of 20 received relief from their pain and discomfort. There are also a large number of clinical studies highlighting that probiotics are totally safe for human consumption, even for babies.
Probiotics are important in re-colonizing the intestine with good bacteria. With poor lifestyle choices, food processing, pollution and antibiotic therapy, the numbers of good bacteria living naturally in our gut are reduced, and research has shown that active consumption of bacteria increases the size of intestinal colonies, thereby improving digestion of food.
