PROBIOTICS-HEALTH FRIENDLY BACTERIAS

Probiotics –are friendly and health-providing bacteria, mostly found in the gut and skin. You must be wondering why bacteria are friendly. But it’s a fact that the human body has approximately 100 trillion bacteria in the gut and skin surfaces of the body. Most of them are health-friendly and neutralize the disease-causing bacterias to keep us disease-free. Whenever their ratio is altered in the form of reduced health-friendly bacteria, we get various diseases.

What are the health-friendly bacteria? They are found on the skin surface and mainly in the large bowel. I’ll focus mainly on the Gut bacteria. They are Lactobacilli.
