TechnoratiFEED THE GOOD BACTERIA
We all have some good bacteria in our colon; we just don’t have enough. A good strategy to combat this deficiency is to ingest these organisms. This may sound strange, but it’s a proven concept. Yogurt, for example, is teeming with beneficial organisms that promote digestive and overall health.
You can also consume nutrients that feed probiotic organisms and help them thrive in your intestinal tract. Such nutrients are called prebiotics. Indigestible starches and certain types of fiber provide a feast for beneficial bacteria. Many fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes are rich in these prebiotic nutrients. Finally, I recommend taking a high quality nutritional supplement for your digestive tract. Supplements contain much higher concentrations of probiotic organisms and prebiotic nutrients than do foods. Look for a supplement that contains a combination of pro- and prebiotics. My Digestion Support, for example, contains two of the most beneficial types of probiotic organisms, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria bifidum. I selected special strains of these organisms that are more resistant to heat, light and stomach acid than other probiotic organisms. Digestion Support also contains broad-spectrum prebiotic nutrients like fructooligosaccharides (FOS), arabinogalactan, glucomannan and a unique fiber complex.
God designed our digestive tract to function smoothly. But too many aspects of our modern diet, lifestyle and environment upset the delicate balance between good and bad bacteria in our intestines. As a result, our health suffers. To get your digestive system – and your health – back on track, I encourage you to follow the few simple steps I outline above. You’ll be glad you did!
