Probiotics the Wonder Food

This book is to introduce you to what probiotics are and how they function as a separate “organ” within our body. It includes a discussion on their effects on the body and what the latest evidence based research states on their use in health and disease. It will also cover some of the common sources of probiotic bacteria. The word probiotics comes from the Latin pro (“for”) and the Greek bios (“life”). If you are healthy daily consumption of probiotics-rich foods like yoghurt and cultured milk drinks should adequately supply the amount of probiotics required to maintain a healthy digestive system and overall wellbeing.
