THE IMPORTANCE OF PROBIOTICS
Probiotics are a species of health-promoting bacteria that we require for proper digestion of food and immune defense against illness promoting bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Probiotic consumption has been shown to reduce overactive immune responses in subjects with autoimmune disorders (such as inflammatory bowel disease, allergies, asthma, and atopic dermatitis), and to enhance specific aspects of immune function in healthy subjects. An inverse relationship has also been shown between the consumption of probiotics and the incidence of colon and breast cancer.
The normal method for ingestion of probiotics begins with a vaginal birth and breast-feeding. Human milk is an incredibly important factor in the initiation, development and composition of the newborn gut microflora. Research also indicates the antibiotics create an abnormal bacterial population within the intestines. Since many babies are now born by Caesarean section, few are being breastfed for a full two years and the vast majority are being given antibiotics.
Beyond infancy we have literally NO CHANCE to build up appropriate levels of probiotics since we now consume one-millionth of the healthy probiotic bacteria that we did before pesticides, herbicides, and industrial farming. Furthermore, much of our healthy bacteria are destroyed by eating sugars, grains, and by consuming alcohol, antibiotics, and other prescription drugs. These facts clearly indicate that the only way to consume adequate amounts of probiotic healthy bacteria is through supplementation.
Daily supplementation is no longer an option;
it is a necessity FOR HEALTH – FOR LIFE!
