Bacteria have a negative image for causing disease, so the concept of ingesting a few billion a day for your health might be difficult to swallow – literally and metaphorically. However, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that meals and supplements containing certain types of live bacteria can be used to treat and even prevent some ailments. Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts that are found naturally in your body. Probiotics aren't all created equal. Different bacteria strains have different impacts. One strain, for example, may battle cavity-causing germs in our mouths without needing to pass through our intestines. For these amiable critters, research has proved promising. Probiotics have been shown to have potential benefits in the treatment and prevention of a variety of ailments. Probiotics may also help to keep urogenital health in check. There is a lot of research going on to see what probiotics can do for your health. Researchers are still attempting to establish definitive answers regarding how probiotics can aid with specific illnesses, despite the many possible favourable results.
