Probiotics are live bacteria and eating or drinking them can have a profound beneficial effect on your health. Before you say "ewww," let's look at the science and why the right bacteria is essential for our well-being. The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is filled with millions of microbes known as microbiota. Your microbiota is specific only to you and was started at birth when you acquired the bacteria from your mother. Over the years it continued to evolve depending upon your gender, geography, health and diet. If you took antibiotics, it probably knocked out your good intestinal microbial environment for at least a month. Some strong antibiotics affect the gut for up to four years. Probiotics are bacteria found in foods and a number of digestive illnesses are helped by taking them. They prevent the growth of bad bacteria, they lower intestinal pH (thereby preventing bad bacterial growth), and they increase the production of mucin, which acts as a blockade and

Those are staggering numbers considering that the disease can be dramatically slowed if not prevented altogether. Diana Antoniucci, M.D. opens new window   of Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation shares these important facts, below.   In women, osteoporosis commonly starts after menopause. Estrogen helps maintain good bone density. But as estrogen levels drop after menopause, bone breakdown increases, contributing to the development of osteoporosis.   Simply put, osteoporosis is the weakening of bone due to a decrease in bone density. Although any bone can be affected by the disease, the spine and hips are the greatest concern because fractures of either of these can lead to significant pain, temporary or permanent disability, and decreased function. This is why preventing osteoporosis is so importan
