Why Probiotics are the Perfect Gut Food?

It is not a secret that in the past year or two probiotics have become synonymous with good gut health.  They have been known to help anywhere from simple gut conditions like bloating and diarrhea to affecting mood.  It is not a surprise probiotics was a 36 billion dollar industry in 2015 and is only proposed to grow more hitting 64 billion (yes with a B) by 2020.  People are only now beginning to understand how profoundly the fauna and bacteria in our gut affects our everyday life.  With the all out full scale attack on bacteria on our body in the past with anything from antibiotics loaded livestock to antibacterial hand-wash and alcohol based hand sanitizer it’s not a surprise why there has started being an imbalance of bacteria in our bodies.

Some of the most popular ways to get probiotics is to either get it as a supplement or to get it from daily foods that we eat.  Obviously the best way is to get it naturally, this is done by consuming fermented foods which have a great variety and quantity of so called good bacteria.  Some of these foods include sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi, pickles to name a few.  All of these are delicious and healthy in moderate quantities.  Now if you don’t have access to these or just find the taste too acidic or salty for your liking or maybe even don’t like how they make your mouth smell then an easy alternative is to eat them in the form of a supplement.  I myself try to consume both the supplement form (when I am going out) and in the food form (when I am home).

One of the recommended probiotics that I keep reading about a lot and also use my self is the Hyperbiotics Pro 15.  You can read a good review here.  One thing to keep in mind is that probiotcs are generally safe and well tolerated.  There are tons of brands in the market and each one has different composition of the good bacteria.  So it can be worth experimenting and testing different types to see which one may work better for you.  We have not gotten to the point where we can do a simple stool test and figure out what exact bacteria we need or have an abundance of, because the gut is super complex and made of trillions of bacteria.  Hence for now a simple try-one-probiotic at a time and see how you feel is the method to go.
