Did you know 80 percent of your immune system is located in your digestive tract? Probiotics play a huge role in maintaining strong immunity in this area of your body. They not only help maintain a strong and healthy digestive tract, they also play a vital role in preventing numerous other conditions and diseases as well. Probiotics are “good,” beneficial bacteria that inhabit your digestive tract. Think of them as an army of bacteria that protects your body.

How Probiotics Protect You From Illness and Disease

Probiotics have been shown to help prevent and/or treat the following diseases:

High Cholesterol

High Blood Pressure

Heart Disease

Allergies in children (if their mothers take antibiotics during pregnancy)

Asthma

Psoriasis

Eczema 

Ulcerative Colitis

Diverticulitis

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Periodontal Disease

Osteoporosis

Respiratory Infections

Bronchitis

Colds and Flu

Pneumonia

Obesity

Type II Diabetes

Poor Brain Function

If you have any of these conditions or would like to help prevent these conditions, probiotics from fermented foods or probiotic supplements should be consumed on a daily basis. The best sources of probiotics from food include sauerkraut, kimchi, and organic greek yogurt or kefir from grass-fed animals. Since most people do not eat fermented foods on a regular basis, we recommend probiotic supplements.
