What are Probiotics? PDF Print E-mail

 

"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.”

Sir William Bragg (1862-1942)

Pioneer British scientist in solid-state physics who was a joint winner (with his son Sir Lawrence Bragg) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 for his research.

Probiotic means “for life” (as opposed to antibiotic which means “anti life”). Probiotics are living microorganisms (bacterial or yeast) which, upon ingestion in certain numbers, exert health benefits beyond inherent basic nutrition. Probiotics may prevent some of the following medical conditions: irritable bowel syndrome, urinary tract infection, yeast infection, intestinal infection, allergy, asthma, recurrent ear and bladder infection and more.

Inside each of us live vast numbers of friendly bacteria without which we could not remain in good health. Before looking at the amazing things they do, reflect on just how many of them we house. There are several trillion friendly bacteria in each person (more than all the cells in the body) divided among more than 400 species, most of them inhabiting the digestive tract. If they were all placed together the total weight of these "friendly" bacteria would come to nearly four pounds. In fact, about a third of the fecal matter (water removed) which you pass consists of dead or viable bacteria. These bacteria are not parasites. They do not just take up residence and do nothing in return, but perform many important functions in the body. We live in true symbiosis with them. As long as we provide them with a reasonable diet and as long as they remain in good health, these bacteria provide excellent service in return.

We do not get enough friendly bacteria or multi-Vitamins in our diet, therefore, I take and recommend the Homefirst Natural Multi-Vitamin with Probiotics for everybody-including men, women and children of all ages, as well as pregnant and nursing mothers.
