What Is The Best Time To Take Probiotics?

 

We are continually recommended to take food with probiotics due to the benefits it brings to our body , it is believed that we should take it on an empty stomach, but is this true?

The probiotics are live bacteria or organisms that provide a balance to the body, protecting the stomach and facilitate the functioning of the intestine .

Some foods rich in probiotics are: fresh cheese, yogurt and fermented vegetables (such as coconut kefir, among others) and some supplements, which work by protecting the intestinal flora .

Specialists recommend: taking probiotics after having eaten some food , because being a living organism it needs food to survive, to multiply and in turn, for this bacteria to proliferate.

And it is so essential to include probiotics in our diet, as research in Nebraska by the United States Department of Epidemiology and Department of Pediatrics has confirmed how beneficial these organisms are to the body.

The study was carried out for 10 years, with a persistence of Lactobacillus in the intestines of children and 82% reductions in sepsis were obtained in children who took probiotics; disease that has killed approximately 600 thousand children around the world.

Some other benefits of taking probiotics:
 

• They counteract digestive disorders:  for example, infectious diarrhea occurs when Clostridium bacteria increase and symptoms are alleviated with the intake of probiotics. Also conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn's disease .
• Helps in weight loss: the consumption of probiotics allows to have an intestinal flora with more nutrients, which help to inhibit the absorption of fat and provide a feeling of satiety.
• Prevents urinary tract infections: sometimes using antibiotics and hormones can alter the vaginal flora, however, it can help to restore vaginal flora with lactobacilli and reduce the risk of vaginal infections.
• As you can see, taking probiotics can be the perfect ally for your health and the reduction of digestive problems , even because it also reduces levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, symptoms of constipation, cavities and some allergic reactions.
