Do you want to improve your gut and overall health or simply be more health-conscious? Then you need to know about probiotics! So what are they exactly, and what are the benefits of probiotics? Keep reading to find out!
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are living microorganisms that support healthy bacteria growth in your gut. It may seem strange, but your gut really does contain good bacteria that help to eliminate harmful substances and promote optimal digestion. Without a proper balance of gut bacteria, you can experience uncomfortable symptoms like gas, bloating, constipation, abdominal pain, and more.
You can find natural sources of probiotics in certain foods, especially fermented ones such as kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, miso, kimchi, cottage cheese, and even pickles. These provide less potent amounts of probiotics, which is why many people opt to take a probiotic supplement.
What are the benefits of probiotics?
- Gut Health - probiotics support the breakdown of nutrients, vitamin absorption and production, as well as recycle bile post-digestion.
- Immune Support - probiotics train your immune system to see and get rid of toxins, as well as possibly boost your immunity.
- Weight Management - because probiotics are essential for gut health and the digestive system, they can influence your ability to maintain weight and appetite control.
- Skin Health - some bacteria strains can support your skin’s moisture barrier, and some have seen improvement in acne and other skin conditions.
- Oral Health - some probiotic strains can also protect your teeth and gums, reducing plaque buildup, bad breath, and more.
As you can see, there are many potential benefits to taking a probiotic. Next, we are going to share some helpful information about supplements. Remember to always discuss a new supplement with your doctor before starting!
