Probiotics- What Are They?
What are probiotics? Probiotics are dietary supplements that if taken regularly can help to balance the good and bad bacteria that live in your intestines. Why am I telling your about this? Because the imbalance of the bacteria leads to inflammation in the intestines. The intestines are in integral part of your immune system. If the bad bacteria are in control of your system, your immune system has to work extra hard to try to rebalance the normal flora. It can get tired and allow you to get sick more easily. An imbalance of bacteria can cause a variety of disorders including intestinal discomfort, and heartburn. When there is inflammation in the body, the entire system has to work harder to try to stay healthy. Coronary heart disease and periodontal disease are very closely linked. So, brush , floss, see us for regular routine cleanings and take a daily probiotic supplement daily. I have been using a live culture probiotic supplement for almost 2 years. Ask me about it!
