Our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than cells. This discovery neatly revealed the emphasis we need to put behind beneficial probiotics in order to maintain a healthy body.

Probiotics literally mean "for life", and help immune cells fight disease, assist digestion, and provide nutrients for building blood. They also help clean your liver, which is your primary mechanism to remove toxins.

Our diets have become seriously deficient in probiotics due to agricultural practices (chemicals, zero tilling), processed foods, and a general lack of quality produce in our diet. As a result, we suffer from bad bacterial overgrowth, which severely compromises the immune system and your ability to fight off any foreign invaders or infections.
  

Probiotics are recommended to restore the healthy gut flora. Therefore, probiotics can help reverse the damage done to the gut flora by antibiotics, poor diet, stress, diseases and hormone imbalance.

Most probiotics belong to two bacteria families: Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. Examples of such bacteria are Bifidobacterium bifidus and Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Certain foods are excellent sources of probiotics. Examples of these are fermented dairy products such as yogurt. Other dietary sources of probiotics are kefir and soy products such as miso and tempeh.

Besides foods, the largest amount of probiotics can be found in dietary and health supplements.
