Most folks know how important probiotics are for digestive health, but did you know that the little critters are good for a lot more than a healthy tummy?
In fact probiotic bacteria are essential for the health of the entire body.
In addition to improving regularity and the health of the colon, probiotic bacteria detoxify drugs and poisons, and they help us process cholesterol and fats.
And they represent a major mechanism for the elimination of estrogen, which can be especially important for women who are dealing with fibromyalgia, autoimmunity and other female health issues.
Even our food choices are made in part by the signals that are sent from the intestinal bacteria to the appetite control centers in our brain.
The best way to support probiotic health is to eat fermented veggies, like sour kraut or kimchi and to use a daily probiotic supplement.
Use the kinds with multiple bacterial species and take at least 10billion units a day.
