Power of Probiotics

Probiotics (friendly bacteria) are health-enhancing bacteria that replenish the microflora
in your intestinal track, helping your body to digest and absorb food, and promote good
overall health. Probiotics:

- Help promote optimal bowel health
- Help promote vaginal health
- Help promote digestive health
- Help promote clean smelling breathe & diminish foot odor
- Help promote optimal flora balance
- Help improve immune system

Some scientists estimate from 6 to 60 trillion actual bacteria may exist in your gut, that's 3 to 4 pounds of bacteria with more than 400 different kinds of bacteria living in your gastro-intestinal tract.

A typical American consumes as many 170 pounds of sugar per year! When you consume
foods that include sugars, grains, and artificial sweeteners, you may not be promoting optimal
flora balance, or good health.

An imbalance of bacteria in the intestinal tract could be the cause of many health problems such as:

- Frequent Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Gas, Bloating & Indigestion
- Digestive Problems
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Vaginal Infections
- Skin Infections
- Halitosis
- Feet & Body Odor
- Poor Immune System

Much of your bacterial types can be thrown off balance simply through poor food choices, stress,alcohol, antibiotics, drugs, exposure to toxic substances, large intake of sugar, etc.

It’s often recommended to take Probiotics after a course of Anitbiotics, by antibiotics, that which kills friendly bacteria in the gut along with unfriendly bacteria. Some people use probiotics to try to offset side effects from antibiotics like gas, cramping, or diarrhea. Or can be taken as part of the treatment for candidiasis(yeast infection), an infection caused by a group of microscopic fungi or yeast.

Probiotic bacterial cultures are intended to help the body's naturally occurring flora within the digestive tract to reestablish themselves. This can be accomplished by ingesting probiotics daily thru foods like, yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, raw oats, some juices and soy beverages.

It can also be taken thru supplementation like; Myogenix- Pro Fiber (MixersNutrition.com),
Vitamineral Green (healthforce.com), Green Vibrance(http://www.best-probiotic.com/
offers/green-vibrance-probiotics.php), Friendly Force The Ultimate Probiotic Supplement
(healthforce.com), etc.

Here are some other benefits from taking Probiotics:

- Lower Blood Pressure
- Lower Cholesterol
- Prevent Infections
- Improve Immune System
- Reduce Inflammation

Do your homework and learn more about the Benefits of Probiotics. But please remember….
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE TAKING ANY NEW SUPPLEMENT
