Do you still want to consume Probiotic after understanding it?

Let's understand about what is probiotic??

Probiotic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probiotic

Do you agree that we are living together with bacteria, being good one or bad one?

Majority of the bacteria in our body are good bacteria. Different bacteria have different functions.

E.g. Intestinal bacteria - help to digest food in our intestine.
For those who swallowing the food instead of chewing it before swallow, they miss the chance of letting the good bacteria within our mouth to digest it on first level.

Probiotic is the microorganisms similar to those found in the human digestive system. It's man-made.

In the market, there are only about 3-4 types of probiotics supplements - common one are Lactobacillus or acidophilus bacteria. It's claimed to have the similar function as those good bacteria in our intestine.

Is there an issue by taking the probiotic then?
In fact, our intestine are occupied by 500-1000 types of bacteria. However, if we supplement it with probiotic (which is only 3-4 types). Yes, those 3-4 types of good bacteria (with large amount) will be occupying the space in our intestine, and pushing the other types of good bacteria that's natural produced in the intestine away, since we only have so much space to go!

Thus, we lose the chance of letting other types of good bacteria to perform the digestion works that they suppose to perform.

Any risk of taking Probiotic?
Definitely there's limitation when it's coming to probiotic supplements:

1. Pancreas inflammation people can't take probiotics
2. children may develop allergy if consuming probiotic in long run
3. Those who are on corticosteroid, chemotheraphy, organ transplant, AIDS - do take note. Probiotic is not for you!
4. People with weak immune system are not suitable to use probiotics. It creates dependency in long run.

Relationship between intestinal bacteria and heart diseases: 

Good intestinal bacteria is also very much related to cardiovascular diseases. Why? 

Our intestinal bacteria (based on meat-rich diet) will produce TMAO compound which can cause cardiovascular diseases. Even a person with low cholesterol will get cardiovascular diseases if the TMAO compound is high in his body. However, if we are taking fruits and vegetables more, our intestinal bacteria will not produce TMAO. 

Hence, in this context, it proves again that changing your diet to more fruits and vegetables will help a person to prevent cardiovascular diseases. 

What is TMAO - called trimethylamine-N-oxide? Click below to understand more. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/20130424/gut-reaction-may-predict-cardiovascular-risk   

Note that the probiotics used in many probiotics drinks in the market - require milk /dairy products as a medium to grow. They will produce TMAO in our body when they are in our body. Relationship between intestinal bacteria and obesity: Obesity is related to the bacteria in our intestine also. Some intestinal bacteria can secrete certain compound to better absorb fat, therefore speed up putting on weight, and leads to obesity. 

If not taking Probiotic then how?
Based on different diet and lifestyle, each of use do need different types of good bacteria to digest the food that we are taking. E.g Sichuan people's diet (spicy food mainly) is definitely different from an American (more protein). So do you think the good bacteria generated in their intestine are the same? If we are supplying all just with probiotic, it may not works!

Best way is to change our diet to more fruits and vegetables, in order to let our body to start growing our own good bacteria!

Check out why I take Nutritional Immunology food, as a convenient organic freeze dried food that allow my body to generate my own good bacteria!


Especially Oxyginberry, which is my favorite! Personally I can prepare it by myself, but with the busy schedule, I would prefer a convenient!
