To say that all kinds of bacteria do more harm than good is to do these microorganisms an injustice.
Yes, horror stories of how bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus can enter bones, joints, lungs and heart valves and have fatal results. Meningitis, which can deteriorate to brain damage, even death, comes from bacteria, viruses and fungi.
But there’s another side to the story.
There are good bacteria that promote instead of destroy life. These are called probiotics, from the Greek word pro, or promoting, and biotic, or life. It was Elie Metchnikoff who discovered these life-giving microorganisms in the early 20th century. He noticed that rural people in Bulgaria lived long even though they were mired in poverty, and lived in harsh weather conditions.
The reason: good bacteria found in sour milk.
The rest is history.
A large body of research has shown that probiotics has a good balance of gut bacteria that promotes health. One such study focused on infants at high risk for asthma. Researchers wanted to find out if probiotics could help bring down the incidence of asthma in babies. They studied gut mirobiota maturation in one-year-old babies at high risk for asthma and studied whether giving them Lactobacillus probiotics will improve their health.
The infants’ stool samples were collected and the provision of probiotics was random. Six months after, the infants developed anti-inflammatory fatty acids which prevent asthma and the tendency to develop allergic reactions.
Lactobacillus promoted the production of fatty acids that fight inflammation. The new study also found that pregnant women who took these probiotics could actually prevent disease in themselves, and therefore in their unborn baby.
Probiotics does wonders for adults as well. These friendly bacteria help us by:
