The World Health Organization defines probiotics as “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”.
There is a constant battle between the good bacteria and the bad bacteria in our gut. A good balance of the two is crucial for optimal health. Consuming probiotics is a way of giving a leg up to the good bugs in this survival game, so they constantly are the predominant population.
So how can we ensure that our body has an ongoing access to probiotics. This can be done in one of two ways – Diet and/or Supplements.
