What are probiotics?

The number of bacteria in the human gut is about 100 trillion, (more than 500 species), consisting of both good and bad bacteria, making a microflora. And probiotics are made of good bacteria. Not only gut flora contains beneficial and harmful bacteria, but the skin, mouth, vagina, and urinary tract consist of them as well. Good bacteria can against bad bacteria and prevent bad bacteria from growing, helping the body function well and be healthy.

The largest organ is the intestine, so it is important to take good care of it. It connects to many aspects of body functions and helps people maintain health. Probiotics can fight bad bacteria, thus reaching a balance to prevent people from getting sick and have good immunity, digestion, and more. It is very helpful for the maintenance of health and intestinal regulation. There are two common strains of probiotics: Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium that you can see both in supplements and containing in food.

However, because of living a stressful and busy lifestyle, it is possible to make the gut flora imbalanced. Many factors can upset the balance of the gut flora, such as mental health, irregular and unhealthy diet, changes in the environment, and aging also could cause probiotic decrease. The above factors all may cause harmful bacteria to increase, breaking intestinal bacterial balance and leading to health problems.

What are the benefits of taking probiotics? Any side effects?

Probiotics can help with many aspects of body functions. Here we would like to emphasize gut health which is our biggest immune organ and also it could impact other body functions as well. Therefore, having balanced gut flora is critical, it prevents people from getting sick, including a better digestive system, and prevents pathogen infection, constipation, and diarrhea, also boosting immunity.

Prevent constipation and diarrhea
The organic acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid produced by lactic acid bacteria can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and viruses that cause diarrhea, promote intestinal peristalsis, make defecation smooth, and avoid constipation and diarrhea.
Prevent pathogen infection
Probiotic maintains the colon tract pH to 4.5~5.5 by producing organic acid. The acidic colon tract eliminates the chance of infection and reduces the probability of diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disorder, and colon cancer.
Reduce Bloating
The reason for bloating could cause by several factors. The imbalanced gut flora as bad bacteria might overgrow and exceed good bacteria. Eating habits could lead to it, such as eating too fast can “eat” air without notice. Taking probiotic supplements might relieve this problem as they could rebalance the gut flora and help against bad bacteria.
Improve the metabolic disorder of lactose intolerance
Some people have diarrhea immediately after drinking milk, the main reason is that the human body is insufficient or inability to secrete lactase, leading to lactose intolerance. Lactic acid bacteria can produce a large amount of lactose-decomposing enzymes to metabolize and decompose lactose in the intestine, improving the metabolic disorders of lactose intolerance.

Probiotics can be beneficial for gut health and overall body functions. As mentioned before, the gut is the biggest immune organ in the human body, so having good gut health means having good immunity ability, impacting whole body functions.
Boost Immunity
Lactic acid bacteria can activate macrophages and lymphatic systems in the white blood cells of the human immune system, strengthen the immune system, and inhibit the formation of tumors. 70% of immunity comes from the intestine - The largest immune organ. Taking good care of the gut could prevent getting sick and thus having good immunity.
Improve body constitution
Especially for those who have weak body function and long-term use of antibiotics or medication leading to unbalance microflora in GI tract. Taking probiotics can reconstruct the healthy microflora of the GI tract and improve the body's constitution.
Help synthesize multivitamin nutrition
Lactic acid bacteria can decompose lactose and protein; synthesize vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, K, Niacin, and folic acid, promoting the utilization of various nutrients in the body.

However, for any side effects, taking probiotics supplements could be considered a relatively safe, mild way to better body functions if people are healthy. You may see some kinds of food added with some strains of probiotics, so it is unlikely to cause harm for people. Especially for those who may get bloated easily and have constipation problems, bad at digestion, it is good for them to buy some fermented food to add to their diet or take probiotics supplements if it helps. No one’s microflora is the same, so if someone tries probiotics supplements getting great help may not work for another. Please be patient to try until you feel it works out.

How can get probiotics from food?

To take more probiotics (beneficial bacteria), fermented foods and dietary supplements are the two main ways you can do.
For the amount of daily intake, it is always recommended on the package of dietary supplements whereas, for fermented foods, there is no specific amount of intake you should be consuming. Thus, the best way to add fermented foods to your diet is to add as many fermented foods as possible as they are beneficial for your gut health and helpful for digestion.

Here we can summarize some of the common fermented foods you can obtain easily in your daily life. Yogurt is the most common food that you can add to your diet whenever you want, add to your breakfast, consume as your snack in the afternoon, or even use as a dressing to tap with veggies and fruit. Other common foods like cottage cheese & sourdough bread, kimchi, miso soup. It is really simple to add them into your diet on a daily basis as they are tasty and easy to get, also are affordable as well.
