Book description
Discover the pros of probiotics
Probiotics are beneficial, live microorganisms (in most cases,
bacteria) that are similar to those found naturally in the human
intestine. Also known as "friendly" or "good"
bacteria, probiotics are the cornerstone of any successful health
program because they restore a healthy balance between friendly and
bad bacteria in the intestinal tract, a balance that is critical for
the health of the entire body. Probiotics are associated with treating
everything from IBS to certain forms of cancer, allergies, eczema, and
even the effects of aging.
Probiotics For Dummies reveals how taking the right
probiotics-in the form of food and supplements- as part of a total
health program benefits one's overall health, as well as improving
specific conditions. This hands-on, essential guide features 20
probiotic recipes and gives you a step-by-step plan for infusing
probiotics into your diet to improve the health of the GI tract,
alleviate allergies and asthma, restore reproductive and urinary
tracts, bolster the immune system against disease, enhance weight
loss, and more.
