Bacteria

“Death begins in the colon” – Professor Ilya Mechnikov, Bacteriologist

Bacteria is the basis of all life on the planet. They were the original life and no living things on earth can exist without them. Bacteria exist in colonies with in excess of over one million in each colony.

Solid health is the product of mind, body and soul and in order to achieve optimum health we need fresh air, pure clean water, exercise and quality nutrition from food.

NUTRITION (According to Webster’s dictionary)

Science of food and the process by which the organism ingests, digests, absorbs, transports, utilises and excretes food substances

The majority of health problems in today’s society are caused by a lack of good nutrition. We may be consuming the best nutrients in the world but if they cannot be digested and assimilated then they are useless. The problem for the majority of people is that they have a bacteria imbalance in their colon.

The ideal ratio of good to nasty bacteria in the gut is 85:15. That’s 85% good (probiotic) and 15% nasty (pathogenic). However, for most people the opposite is true and they have 85% harmful bacteria compared to 15% beneficial bacteria. As there are bacteria throughout the whole of your intestines (and if stretched out these would cover half a tennis court!), that’s a lot of harmful bacteria. The stomach and intestinal bacterium have a great impact on your health.

When you suffer from low quantities of good bacteria your immune system is severely compromised and some form of physical disease is likely to manifest itself. Common warning signs of a bacterial imbalance are

Difficulty losing weight, sugar/carbohydrate cravings

Frequent fatigue, poor concentration

Faulty digestion, acid reflux and other gut disorders

Sleeping poorly, possible night sweats

Painful joint inflammation/stiffness

Bad breath, gum disease and dental problems

Frequent colds, flu or infections

Acne, eczema, skin and foot fungus, etc.

Extreme menstrual or menopausal symptoms

Allergies and food sensitivities

So what upsets the delicate balance between the nasty and good bacteria, which is the single most important thing to ensure good health and longevity? See below for a list of some common anti-probiotics.

Antibiotics

Birth control pills

Steroids/hormonal drugs

Fluoride

Chlorine

Coffee/Tea

Carbonated drinks

Man made vitamins

Synthetic ascorbic acid

Radiation

Stress

Preservatives

Pesticides

Fertilisers

So what are the health benefits of Probiotic bacteria?
