More on Probiotics
If you suffer with Hemorrhoids, Gout symptoms or pain, or poor colon health, you should consider the need for probiotic supplementation. Probiotics refers to the type of good bacteria found in yogurt. Studies have shown people who consume yogurt on a daily basis live on average two years longer than those who do not. Yogurt is part of many peoples' diet around the world. Also, different bacterial strains are used as the 'starter' which is the bacterial seed added to milk to make the conversion to a creamy yogurt. Some doctors say that yogurt is of little benefit since most bacteria can not make it past the stomach acid and into the intestinal tract. Well if that was absolutely the case, it contradicts studies showing yogurt does impart health benefits.
The average human gut has some 8 pounds of bacteria. That translates into huge numbers; not a few million, or billion, but trillions. Imagine a balance scale in front of you with good bacteria on one side and bad bacteria on the other. A health colon would be where the numbers or weight of good bacteria outweighs the bad. The problem is that for most Americans, the bad bacteria outweigh the good. A predominance of bad bacteria allow for accumulations of fecal matter in the colon, and bad bacteria emit toxic by products that impair health.
Redressing the imbalance of intestinal flora requires focus on multiple fronts, starting with diet. A low sugar, low carb diet is essential for promoting colon health. Fiber and probiotic supplementation can address the imbalance of bad bacteria versus good. Other supplements exist that promote the growth or 'feed' good bacteria such as FOS, and the herb Chicory. I believe probiotics are absolutely critical for optimum health. Many types of illnesses have their roots in poor colon function. Colon issues like IBS, Gout, Hemorrhoids, and many others relate to an imbalance of bacteria.
