HEALTHY TIPS FROM THE MARKET, ROCK SOUND

 
Probiotic Yogurt:

 

What Are Probiotics and How Do They Affect Our Health?

 Probiotics are the live, active, and beneficial bacteria that help to aid digestion and maintain the health of the intestinal tract.  They are found naturally in our bodies and they keep the harmful bacteria found there,  under control. When our bodies undergo the effects from stress, pollution, antibiotic action and unhealthy food, the levels of these good bacteria inside of us drop significantly, and we can become ill.

 
What are the Health Benefits of Buying Probiotic Yogurt?

Recently there have been many ads promoting all the benefits of buying probiotic yogurt. All yogurts are made from the fermentation of milk using live good microorganisms: bacteria. About 10 years ago, yogurt manufacturers began to make yogurt with probiotic strains of bacteria. These microorganisms are supposed to be more effective in aiding digestion by better surviving the acidic environment of the stomach and the alkaline environment of the duodenum. They pass from the stomach to the small intestine and eventually adhere to the intestinal walls of the colon where they increase. By eating probiotic yogurt, we can replenish and increase the number of good bacteria in our bodies.

It is essential for good health to maintain a balance in both the digestive and intestinal tracts. The probiotic organisms keep the harmful bacteria at a low level which helps to prevent illnesses.  When the digestive system and intestinal tracts work efficiently, the body can more easily absorb the needed nutrients for good health.

Most people who are lactose intolerant find that they are able to consume probiotic yogurts without discomfort.
