Solution

Probiotics

  1. they are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system. We usually think of these as germs that cause diseases.
  2. But our body is full of bacteria, both good and bad.
  3. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.
  4. we can find probiotics in supplements and some foods, like yogurt. Doctors often suggest them help with digestive problems.

How Do They Work?

  1. Researchers are trying to figure out exactly how probiotics work. Some of the ways they may keep you healthy:
  2. When we lose "good" bacteria in our body, for example after we take antibiotics, probiotics can help replace them.
  3. They can help balance our "good" and "bad" bacteria to keep our body working the way it should.

Types of Probiotics

  1. Many types of bacteria are classified as probiotics.
  2. They all have different benefits, but most come from two groups.
  3. Lactobacillus is the most common probiotic. It's the one we'll find in yogurt and other fermented foods.
  4. Different strains can help with diarrhea and may help people who can't digest lactose, the sugar in milk.
