Good Bacteria in Your Body - Why Do We Need Good Bacteria in Our Bodies and Which One Do We Choose?
By Daina Wiebe
There are many kinds of probiotics out there but which one do we choose? First of all, lets decide if we need a probiotic in the first place.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that our bodies need on a regular basis to keep us healthy. Probiotics help re-colonize the digestive tract and keep our bodies in good working order to fight the bad bacteria that we come in contact with on a regular basis. More and more studies have been done to prove that most diseases begins and lies in our colon, such as this famous statement "death begins in the colon".
The reason people should be looking for a probiotic, is simply because our soils have been depleted with all the chemicals used to kill the bugs on our plants. What most people don't realize is that it kills all the beneficial bacteria in our soils as well, at the same time.
Two good questions to ask yourself and someone else if they recommend a probiotic, is, "Is it Certified Organic and is it living?" These questions are key to a good probiotic for our body to recognize properly. If it's not certified organic, then there is a huge chance that it has been grown in sewage sludge and is not active and living. It needs to be living in order to do it's proper job in our colon or it's a waste of time and money.
You'll also notice that on a probiotic, that it will claim to have billions or millions of good bacteria in it. Even though it is good to have a lot of good bacteria in a probiotic, just be aware of marketing hype. Probiotics work in synergistic harmony with one another and form their own (colony forming units) or CFU. What many suppliers do, is shake apart the probiotic and count them individually, claiming that on their bottle to make a sale. This is done more then the consumers know and should always been chosen very carefully.
So, my advice to you is do your due diligence on finding the right good bacteria for your body to maintain, and regain your health. To get the most beneficial probiotic, look for the certified organic seal, so it's bio available and ready to go to work to fight the harmful bacteria that is damaging to your body.
