Our sterile, pre-packaged, convenient foods, coupled with a diet high in antibiotic-filled, factory-farmed meats, have resulted in an increased need for probiotic-rich foods and supplements if we are to maintain a healthy gut flora. An ideal balance of good and bad bacteria in the digestive system means improved digestion and better body function in general.
Probiotic supplements, such as the high-quality brands BioImmersion and Klaire Labs, are good options to attain and maintain good gut health, but may not be affordable for everyone. Many people also turn to common food products such as yogurts and kefirs for their high probiotic content. Unfortunately, many of the ready-made products sold in stores are also packed with sugar, neurotoxic artificial sweeteners, thickeners, chemical additives, and/or GMOs.
