What you need to know about friendly bacteria and your health.
Your body's first line of defence against most common illnesses.
DESCRIPTION:
You have an internal guardian that can help lower your cholesterol, protect you against food poisoning and alleviate conditions such as candidiasis, Crohn's disease and lactose intolerance. It can boost your immune function by producing its own antibiotics and it is armed with weapons that are effective against many harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi. It can also help cancel out the effects of unavoidable environmental pollutants. Fortunately, you have (or should have) billions of these guardians inside your body right now. They are probiotics - the friendly bacteria that live and work in your gastrointestinal tract and they constitute your first line of defense against illness and disease.
In Probiotics, Nature's internal healers, Natasha Trenev introduces you to these guardians and explains their importance in achieving and maintaining good health based on the latest research. She also explains how a number of factors - including over-the-counter and prescription drugs, alcohol, food additives, stress and poor dietary choices - have a negative impact on these friendly bacteria. And when your friendly bacteria are weak, harmful bacteria and other microorganisms are able to proliferate and create havoc with your health.
Divided into two parts, the book begins with an introduction to the different friendly bacteria strains. It then presents - in easy-to-understand language - the antibiotic action, antiviral activity and anticancer capabilities of these beneficial internal guardians, as well as the foes that weaken them. Part one concludes with a chapter on how you can choose the right type and highest quality probiotic supplements. Part two includes a comprehensive a-to-z listing of illnesses and disorders that can be prevented or corrected with proper probiotic supplementation. Each entry includes a specific recommended probiotic regimen.
Kept strong, your mighty bacterial army will help maintain your good health and guard you against a wide range of illnesses. Probiotics, Nature's internal healers will show you how.
