It is not surprising that Americans are able to optimize their immune system function by incorporating good bacteria into their diets.
Good bacteria can help strengthen your body’s defenses because stress, sleep deprivation, and a busy lifestyle can all cause disruptions to the immune system. Healthy bacteria is responsible for 70% of the immune system’s effectiveness.
The human gut contains approximately 400 different types of bacteria. That’s about 10 times the number of human cells.
Probiotics are also known as “friendly bacteria,”There are cultures of live organisms that can be consumed in sufficient amounts to provide health benefits. These include improving the balance in the intestinal microflora.
“Recent research has uncovered a great deal about how the microbes naturally colonizing our bodies can keep us well and how we can bolster these effects by consuming health-promoting bacteria called probiotics. A key to how microbes can help keep us healthy is their influence on the immune system,”Mary Ellen Sanders, Ph.D. is the executive director of International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics.
Probiotics have been a part of European and Asian diets for years. A recent survey found that only 15% of American women know what probiotics are.
