Probiotics For Dummies (PDF)

Discover the pros of probiotics

Probiotics are beneficial, live microorganisms (in most cases,
bacteria) that are similar to those found naturally in the human
intestine. Also known as "friendly" or "good" bacteria, probiotics
are the cornerstone of any successful health program because they
restore a healthy balance between friendly and bad bacteria in the
intestinal tract, a balance that is critical for the health of the
entire body. Probiotics are associated with treating everything
from IBS to certain forms of cancer, allergies, eczema, and even
the effects of aging.

Probiotics For Dummies reveals how taking the right
probiotics--in the form of food and supplements-- as part
of a total health program benefits one's overall health, as well as
improving specific conditions. This hands-on, essential guide
features 20 probiotic recipes and gives you a step-by-step plan for
infusing probiotics into your diet to improve the health of the GI
tract, alleviate allergies and asthma, restore reproductive and
urinary tracts, bolster the immune system against disease, enhance
weight loss, and more.
