Probiotics Help Health

PROBIOTICS HELP STOMACH HEALTHBY KATHLEEN BERRY-HEBERT

IN A HEALTHY STOMACH:

• There are over 500 different bacterial species

• ~85% of the bacteria are beneficial

• ~15% are pathogens (bad bacteria)

IN REALITY

According to The Healthy Home Economist, most people have an inverse of healthy gut— mostly pathogens instead of beneficial bacteria

WHAT ALLOWS MORE NEGATIVE BACTERIA INTO THE STOMACH?

• Antibiotics

• Birth Control Pills

• Medications

• Processed Foods

• Foods high in sugar

STOMACHS WITH HIGHER AMOUNT OF PATHOGENS EXPERIENCE:

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• Excessive gas

• Bloating

• Allergies

• Eczema

• Irritable bowl

• Kidney stones

• Ear infections

• Strep throat

• Colds

• Yeast Infections

• Crohn’s Disease

• Lactose Intolerance

IF YOU’RE SUFFERING,STEP 1: INTRODUCE A PROBIOTIC

• Probiotics introduce more positive bacteria and

prevent growth of pathogens, yeast, and fungi in the

gut

• Probiotics have many other benefits for various

locations throughout the body

STEP 2: KNOWING WHEN TO TAKE THE PROBIOTIC

• The probiotic should be taken immediately after a

meal

• If taken on an empty stomach, the high levels of

stomach acid could destroy some of the probiotic

bacteria

STEP 3: WHERE TO TREAT?

• If treating/clearing out the mouth, throat, nasal

passages or ears, it is suggested to empty the

capsule in the mouth and gurgled before being

swallowed

• Then avoid water for some time after to allow the

bacteria to sink in and set in
