Greenviter, surely you have heard that probiotics are good for our body and our health, but what really are probiotics and what are their benefits?
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in the intestine that maintain, and even improve, the body to keep it happy and healthy.
The WHO (World Health Organization) defines probiotics as “live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a beneficial effect on the health of the subject who receives them”.
The benefits of these bacteria help us facilitate digestion, strengthen our immune system and help improve the absorption of nutrients.
- Knowing that probiotics are an ally for our body, it is important to highlight some of their benefits.
- Fight diseases such as cancer, hemorrhoids, urinary infection and candidiasis
- Prevent intestinal diseases such as colitis, Crohn’s disease, intestinal inflammation and colitis
- It helps us against constipation, moderating intestinal transit
- Fights acidity and improves our digestion
- Improves the absorption of nutrients such as calcium, iron and vitamin B
- Strengthens the immune system and prevents the reproduction of bad bacteria in our intestine
- It helps us improve our mood, since there is a direct relationship between the balance of the intestinal flora with a decrease in diseases such as anxiety and depression
Now, there are two ways to ingest probiotics, either by increasing your intake of foods that contain it or through supplements.
