You might have heard probiotics mentioned a lot recently but what are they exactly? Probiotics are strains of bacteria that live in our intestines that give us beneficial effects. They are thought to help in the digestion of the milk sugar lactose and to control certain types of inflammation in the colon. They also help prevent certain types of infections in the intestines. Good, natural sources of probiotics come in foods that have been fermented such as yogurt, sauerkraut, miso and buttermilk. So don’t forget to incorporate some of these foods into your diet regularly.
