About Probiotics
What are Probiotics?
Plainly, probiotics are live good bacteria that keep our gut healthy and help to improve the performance of our digestive system. A good digestion allows us to relieve our body from the stress of processing complex foods and improves the absorption of nutrients; this has a direct impact on our immune and nervous systems, helps maintain a healthy organism, and even supports the treatment of some specific health conditions.
What probiotics are not:
- The new cure to everything (they support and nurture, which is different, we must take responsibility for our own health! Probiotics help us do this.).
- Some mysterious capsules or powders prescribed by a nutritionist (the best stuff doesn’t come from a lab).
- Just a recent new fad (they have been around for centuries).
Good Bacteria
There is at least the same amount of good bacteria than cells in our body. In reality, you have been consuming probiotics all your life: when you were born, you received probiotics from your mother even before the milk (from her skin and colostrum). Also, most cultures have fermented foods (which contain probiotics) as part of their diet. Many nations in the world have been consuming probiotics for centuries.
We have been accustomed to associate the word ‘bacteria’ to diseases and health difficulties, when in reality, bacteria are part of this world (and of ourselves) just as much as other living beings. Yes, some bacteria are detrimental to our health, but at the same time some other bacteria are crucial for it. Without some microbes, life on Earth, as we know it, would have been impossible. So it is important to reassess our reaction to the word ‘bacteria’.
Why are probiotics important?
Our digestive system thrives when it has a good count and diversity of good gut bacteria. This is achieved by consuming probiotic and prebiotic food and drinks along with your regular diet. Probiotics will help you to digest better whatever food enters your body and will improve the nutrient absorption of that food, which may help to prevent or aid in the healing process of some diseases.
Probiotics Foods & Drinks
We believe that body, mind and spirit are interconnected. That’s why we are very passionate about probiotics and their effect on our wellbeing. We also love tasty food and drinks. So we decided to combine these passions and create Pranama.
