PROBIOTICS, HOW CAN THEY HELP US?

Probiotics are living organisms that, consumed in certain quantities, can provide us with health benefits. In the same way that thousands of healthy microorganisms inhabit our digestive tract that protect us from harmful agents, there are certain foods (such as yogurt or kefir) that also contain these beneficial bacteria.

Reasons to consume probiotics

They strengthen defenses: they create a protective barrier in the digestive system, protecting our body from harmful bacteria and strengthening our defenses. A good state of the intestinal flora has been shown to improve the immune system.

They restore the intestinal flora: being substances similar to those that populate the intestinal flora, they help to restore and clean it so that the body absorbs a greater amount of proteins, minerals and vitamins.

They balance the digestive system: when the intestinal flora is weakened, it needs extra support to regulate itself. These microorganisms help us balance the activity of the digestive system, favoring transit and bowel movements.

They help in intestinal infections: they are recommended in cases of gastroenteritis, diarrhea and intestinal infections (pancreatitis, irritable bowel, constipation, flatulence), taking antibiotics, abuse of laxatives, celiac disease and changes in diet (trips or vacations).
