Good Bacteria

Bacteria are not always bad. There are actually some beneficial bacteria which help us. The good bacteria are called ‘Probiotics’. They are organisms that contribute to the health and balance of our intestinal tract and are commonly referred to as the “friendly,” “beneficial” or “good” bacteria , which when ingested act to maintain a healthy intestinal tract and help fight disease.

Probiotics combat “bad” bacteria and also help maintain the health of the cells that line the gastrointestinal tract. The common gut probiotics present inside the human body are: Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria.  These bacteria are able to convert sugars and carbohydrates into lactic acid.

Probiotics enhance the immune system by favorably altering the gut micro-ecology and preventing unfriendly organisms from gaining a foothold in the body. They prevent the overgrowth of yeast and fungus and produce substances that can lower cholesterol. Plus they secret compounds that regulate cell function, and protect the intestine against invasive “bad” bacteria. Probiotics inhibit the growth of disease-causing bacteria by preventing their attachment to the intestine and by producing substances that suppress their growth.

Do We Need Probiotics?  Well two of the most damaging substances to the delicate intestinal flora balance are chlorine and sodium fluoride, present in most treated city water, and  also present in most beverages we get at a restaurant. Drinking  alcoholic beverages also contributes to the destruction of the intestinal flora. Medical antibiotics, birth control pills and many other allopathic drugs cause damage to the intestinal flora and to the tissue in the intestinal wall.

Poor eating habits, stress and disease and the use of antibiotics in food production as well as in medical treatments can wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract by destroying good bacteria and allowing undesirable bacteria to multiply. When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is lowered, problems begin to arise such as excessive gas, bloating, constipation, intestinal toxicity and poor absorption of nutrients.

Non-beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring in the intestinal tract, but problems begin when their growth goes unchecked and probiotics play an especially important role in keeping in check the pathogenic bacteria that cause disease.

A high quality dietary supplement in pill or powder form will contain millions and millions of live bacteria to bolster and replenish levels of the health promoting good bugs in your digestive tract. Once there, these probiotic reinforcements join forces with the existing friendly bacteria to help inhibit the growth of more harmful microbes. supplement will contain millions and millions of live bacteria to bolster and replenish levels of the health promoting good bugs in your digestive tract.
