If the thought of bacteria conjures images of germs that should be
avoided at all costs--and certainly not ingested--think again! Some
friendly bacteria, called probiotics, are not only beneficial to
your health, they're essential. Now an internationally recognized
scientist at a top U.S. medical school--one of the leading
researchers in the field--sheds light on the extraordinary benefits
of these natural health superstars.
Thanks to an explosion of research in recent years, one thing is
clear: probiotics, the healthy bacteria that inhabit the digestive
tract, are the body's silent partners for good health, optimizing
the power of the immune system to fight disease and the "bad" germs
we fear. But how do they work? And in the face of factors like
stress and poor diet, which decrease their numbers, how do you keep
your supply well stocked?
Here is an up-to-the-minute, highly accessible guide to probiotics
and the foods and supplements that contain and support them--many
of which may be in your diet already. Discover:
The key role of probiotics and prebiotics in restoring healthy
balance to our bodies, improving immune system functioning, and
curbing inflammation
How to use probiotic foods and supplements to prevent and relieve
allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome,
yeast infections, and the negative side effects of antibiotic use
New evidence that probiotics may help fight asthma, cardiovascular
disease, breast and colon cancer, autoimmune diseases, chronic
fatigue, fibromyalgia--and even obesity
Natural sources of prebiotics, the nutrients that help make the
digestive tract more hospitable for probiotic bacteria
The Probiotics Revolution also includes a step-by-step plan for
incorporating the many food sources of probiotics and prebiotics
into your diet, a complete buyer's guide to probiotic supplements,
and how to introduce probiotics to your family and children.
