Probiotics are live bacteria and yeast that can improve your health in certain capacities. Though the topic of taking probiotics is still new and questioned, many people are curious to see the positive ways it can be incorporated into a healthy diet. Recent studies by researchers show that when taken in proper amounts, probiotics provide multiple health benefits. Your digestive system contains over 500 different types of bacteria. If not provided the proper amount of nutrients, it can start faulting and create health problems. Many researchers and doctors believe that digestive disorders occur when there are not enough bacteria in your system. Probiotics have been proven effective in helping digestive problems. The idea may seem counterproductive, for many times we take antibiotics to prevent bacteria from growing inside, but the breakthrough in probiotics lay in the ideal that they are the "good" guys, the bacteria your body needs. Initially, digestive problems arise from bacterial imbalances in your digestive system, so feeding it the bacteria it actually needs is beneficial. Probiotics may be taken as a way to already help those other good bacteria in your system. In 2011, experts in Yale University conducted a research that denoted some of the health benefits seen in taking probiotics. Their research showed that probiotics are most effective for childhood diarrhea, ulcerative colitis, preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, infectious diarrhea and preventing pouchitis, an inflammation of the intestines that can follow intestinal surgery. Furthermore, when scientists at the California-based Rand research organization studied the results of 63 participants who were taking probiotics, they found people who took probiotics and antibiotics halved their risk of diarrhea. Surprisingly, their research also showed that probiotics may lower the risk of common childhood illnesses such as strep throat, ear infections and colds. There are six types of natural probiotics: lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, saccharomyces boulardii, streptococcus thermophiles, enterococcus faecium and leuconostoc. The most popular strand of probiotic is lactobacillus and is considered the most potent probiotic of the six. There are over 50 species of lactobacilli which are naturally found in the digestive, urinary and genital systems. Popular probiotic foods likes yogurt include this strand and are proven to the most effective live-culture strand you can consume. It so strong, that while the power of probiotics is being researched, the benefits of consuming the lactobacillus probiotic have already been seen. Many studies have shown the relationship between lactobacillus and its potential in treating and/or preventing yeast infections, urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome, various forms of diarrhea, skin disorders and preventing respiratory infections. Bifidobactera is the healthy bacteria in the colon. With over 30 species, they most commonly appear in breastfed infants and are seen in the intestinal tract within days of birth. More research is being done on this type of probiotic, but some have shown that it can aid with irritable bowel syndrome, blood lipids and glucose tolerance. It has also been shown to alleviate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome like abdominal pain, bloating, straining and the passage of gas. The yeast bacteria, saccharomyces boulardii, has been proven to be effective in prevent and treating diarrhea associa
