You Need a Good Probiotic Supplement because of Bacteria Phobia

MERSA,a very serious staph infection that can cause skin problems and even death is said to have taken up residence in most hospitals. Recently, you may have heard about it rearing its ugly head in health clubs.

Another bacteria that may have you worried is E Coli. Outbreaks have been reported with tomatoes, ground beef etc...Small children, the elderly and anyone with a compromised immune system are at risk.

For obvious reasons, infections like these may have you terrified. As a result, you may be buying antibacterial soap for dishes, hand washing and the list goes on and on...

Couple that with the overuse of antibiotics, misuse of antibiotics and the presence of antibiotics in our drinking water seems like those nasty bugs ought not have a chance.

Risks of Antibacterial Cleaners

The use of antibacterial cleaners necessitates your use of a probiotic supplement. Here's why.

For an antibacterial cleaner to be effective they must remain on the surface you are wanting to clean for 30 minutes. That's right. Who does that? Have you seen instructions that spell this out for you? Nope.

So what's the big deal? Well, the weak bacteria may get killed but, the strong bacteria actually get resistant to the antibacterial cleaner. So now, you have created a super bug of sorts. The end result is similar to starting a prescribed antibiotic and not finishing the prescription. I'm sure you are aware of the dangers of this but, were you aware that the same danger exists with cleaners?

Your best protection from this besides not using antibacterial cleaners is to take a probiotic supplement.

Your gut contains 100 trillion bacteria weighing in at about 3 pounds. The largest part of your immune system is located around your gut. To be healthy, the bacteria in your gut must be healthy. So, the balance of these bacteria is what is important.

The good bacteria fight off invaders so if your bad bacteria outweigh the good this can contribute to more illness, improper digestion leading to gas, bloating heartburn, food intolerance...

Contributors to an overbalance of bad bacteria

• eating lots of sugar and grains - these lead to overgrowth of bacteria such as candida

• drinking chlorinated (unpurified) water

• stress

• prescription antibiotics

How to improve the flora in your gut

1. Limit your consumption of sugar and grains.

2. Only use purified water

3. Manage your stress.

4. Consume kefir and/or yogurt that contains live probiotic cultures.

5. Take a good probiotic supplement that has been clinically tested. In a recent test it was found that most probiotics don't have enough of the live bacteria to be effective.
