The microorganisms that reside in your gut have a huge impact on both your general health and quality of life.<\/h2>\n

They are obviously key in helping you to digest food, make vitamins and have a great effect on metabolism, however, intestines actually contain more immune cells than the rest of our body. These in turn, help to defend against respiratory infections, gastroenterological infections and play a role in supporting our cardiovascular system, obesity and diabetes.<\/p>\n

It is now found that neurochemicals, essential to our happiness such as dopamine and serotonin, all connect with our intestines.<\/p>\n

Recent studies show that certain bacteria were consistent in patients diagnosed with clinical depression. Tests in mice showed that probiotics, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium showed a significant reduction in anxiety.<\/p>\n

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, or flora, both good and bad.<\/p>\n

Probiotics provide living bacteria that help the body absorb nutrients and keep a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria.<\/h2>\n

They help to treat conditions like diarrhea, lactose intolerance, eczema, asthma, vaginal infections, and irritable bowel syndrome. They also help with digestion and absorption and generally strengthen the immune system.<\/p>\n

A hugely beneficial use of probiotics is to help counter any negative effects from antibiotics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would recommend to any patient who is taking antibiotics, that they should also include a course of probiotics for the following month, to soothe the gut and help to encourage new growth of good bacteria.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
