Just three pounds of bacteria defend your body against infection. Most of thissmall but mighty army of an estimated 750 trillion friendly bacteria, yeast andother microorganisms is stationed in your gastrointestinal tract, the source of corehealth and vitality. Its duty is to support optimal health by:1

· Protecting your body – The bowel is the command center of the immunesystem and your first line of defense against infection. By killing off invadingpathogens and producing immune-boosting bio-chemicals such as transfer factorand lactoferrin, your intestinal flora is responsible for 60-70% of your immunesystem’s activity.2

· Transferring nutrients to the bloodstream and producing Vitamins B and K

· Eliminating waste products

When our intestinal flora thrive – so can we. However, if the bowel is not workingproperly, optimal health is impossible and the body becomes vulnerable to myriadconditions. We can upset the natural balance of friendly bacteria in the digestivetract by:

· Taking antibiotics, antibiotic herbs, birth control pills and NSAIDS

· Eating a diet high in processed foods and in antibiotic-laden meat and dairy

· Drinking chlorinated water

· Smoking, drinking alcohol and living a stressful lifestyle

· Not sending in fresh reinforcements to replace your worn-out microorganisms.1,2

What we eat is the most important factor in keeping ahealthy level of intestinal bacteria. Start with a diet rich invegetables, fruits and fiber, because good bacteria feaston fiber. On the other hand, bad bacteria thrive onrefined sugar and animal fat.1

When symptoms do hit, eliminate fatty foods, dairyproducts, sugar, and alcohol, which will reduce phlegm.But for many, diet alone is inadequate when we need toreestablish healthy intestinal flora: The answer is tosupplement with probiotics.
