MEGAN MOYER: Probiotics are
actually good healthy bacteria
that naturally occurs
in our digestive track.
Probiotics have been found
to actually help
keep harmful bacteria at bay,
help boost our immune system,
help improve
our gastrointestinal tract,
as well as ease some symptoms
of lactose intolerance.
Most people can actually benefit
from taking probiotics,
but it's also important to know
that you can get it from food as
well.
You can get it
from fermented dairy products,
such as yogurt, keifer,
as well as
other nondairy fermented
products, like tempeh, soy,
kimchi, miso, and sauerkraut.
And prebiotics are actually
the food
for our healthy bacteria
or probiotics.
So we want to keep them healthy.
We want to keep them fed.
And the way that we do that is
have more fruits and vegetables
and whole grains.
