Probiotics: The Healing Powers of Bacteria

Inside your belly resides bacteria- some are the ‘good guys’ and some are the ‘bad guys’.

The ‘good guys’ are called probiotics, which naturally occur in your body, and have a lot to do with your overall state of healthiness.

In fact, more than 200 studies support the proper function of this system as being the single most important factor influencing your health and achieving your fat loss goals.

But, certain things that you innocently do everyday can cause their toxic enemies to gain control and cause a lot of damage to your body.

Probiotics (the good germs) help with your digestion and support your immune system (which is a big deal), as they defend your body against the ‘bad guys’.

On a good day, your bacterial ratio is in the ballpark of 5:1, in favor of the ‘good guys’, and all is well with your general level of health.

However, certain things can cause unrest by upsetting the natural balance in your belly.

This results in a host of uncomfortable digestive issues (constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, acid reflux, indigestion).

But not only that, when the ‘bad guys’ take over, you can also suffer from skin problems, muscle and joint pain and inflammation, fatigue, a weak immune system and even fat gain!

THE CULPRITS OF YOUR BELLY’S UNREST

MEDICATIONS

*Antibiotics, while designed to fend off infection, cause total annihilation.  These medications kill both good and bad bacteria, which creates imbalance.

*Over-the-counter-pain medications (the common stuff we take for a headache)

*Chemo and radiation therapy

INGESTIBLES and LIFESTYLE CHOICES

*Non-organic meats (most are pumped full of antibiotics)

*Junk food (bad bacteria and yeast thrive when supplied with ingredients found in processed foods, especially sugar!)

*Alcohol, cigarettes and stress (nothing good comes from these)

RE-BALANCING YOUR BELLY

A good start to regaining the proper balance of bacteria in your belly is to consume more fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar (the organic kind with “mother, is best), squash, onions, turnips, carrots and pickles.

No doubt, you’re familiar with the traditional suggestion for restoring your digestive health…yogurt.

However, with so many potential problems associated with consuming homogenized/pasteurized dairy products, not to mention the sugar and artificial sweeteners that most (if not all) of them contain, yogurt isn’t always a good choice.

In fact, if you ever make the common mistake of choosing artificial “sweeteners” for the sake of saving calories…

There’s a very strong likelihood that your gut bacteria is completely out of balance.

…and even worse, that “TOXIC belly bugs” have already begun to take over your entire gastrointestinal tract and spread throughout your body.

That’s right. According to a recent study performed at Duke University, commonly used artificial sweeteners contain a chlorine atom that is devastatingly lethal to the good bacteria in your gut.

This can do a MASSIVE amount of damage to the delicate cells of your body while accelerating aging and completely obliterating your immune system.

The good news is that you can REVERSE this devastating trend, starting today. Learn more by watching the quick video on the next page about naturally boosting your body’s belly-bugs…
