What You Need To Know About Friendly Bacteria

By Daniel Wallace


There are many factors that play a very important role in the maintenance of your overall health. Foremost among these, however, is one very surprising thing. This is the friendly bacteria that is found throughout all parts of your body. These helper organisms help keep other, harmful microorganisms in check. They are largely found throughout all portions of your digestive tract. If you do not have enough of these bacteria, your body will be unable to fight illness off.

You might be familiar with organisms like these if you've taken antibiotics in the past. These medications kill off all forms of bacteria indiscriminately. Broad-spectrum antibiotics eliminate good and bad organisms at once. As such, you might end up dealing with a host of secondary issues when you are done using these drugs.

There are also many environmental toxins that can have this same effect. For instance, if you are using a number of pesticides, herbicides or other toxic chemicals in or around your home, they may be responsible for diminishing your stores of beneficial microorganisms. This can lead to digestive issues and many other problems likes fatigue, depression, and more.

Some of the latest and most innovative treatments for mental health issues are centered around restoring a good balance of friendly organisms within the digestive tract. The products that are used to this end are known as psychobiotics. With these, it is possible to treat common issues like anxiety and depression in a very safe and natural way.

People who suffer from severe digestive disorders are now being treated with a process known as fecal implant. Donor feces is inserted into the lower intestines in an attempt to boost the patient's immunity and overall health. The improvements gained from these efforts often allow people to avoid the need for surgery and lifelong use of certain, prescription medications.

At birth, a person's digestive tract is completely sterile. Once this individual moves through the birth canal, the micro-biome of the mother is inherited. This allows children to adopt the intestinal flora and immunity that is possed. This is how immunity to various ailments is passed on.

Psychobiotics are merely one branch of probiotics. Probiotics can be used to achieve internal, intestinal balance following a course of antibiotics or any other life event that has diminished the natural stores of beneficial bacteria. As time passes, the use of these products can allow for higher energy, improve digestion and better overall immunity among other things. Even certain animals can benefit from the use of probiotics. This is a great way to improve the vitality and health of a pet dog or cat that has been exposed to environmental contaminants or has used antibiotics.

These organisms and their function should definitely be kept in mind when selecting the products that you will disinfect your living environment with. Research has shown that aggressive removal of all microorganisms can have a negative impact on your health. Even though it is a good idea to keep your living space clean, you do not want to overuse chemical cleaning agents that could kill off beneficial organisms in the process of cleaning and sanitizing your abode.
