Probiotics
Treatment
The gut is very important to health, so it makes sense that we focus a lot of time and energy on keeping it happy! Probiotics, the live beneficial/helpful bacteria found in food and supplements, play a big role in gut health. These good bacteria are used to aid digestion, and may help reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, urinary tract infections, and upper respiratory infections, among other conditions. If you’re taking antibiotics, pair 'em with probiotics, which can help replace the beneficial bacteria that are lost during the course of your treatment. You can introduce probiotics into your system through supplements, but there are a bunch of foods that are good sources as well. Lots of yogurts and kefir are high in probiotics, as are fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and a Wana favorite, kombucha, which is fermented with a probiotic yeast instead of bacteria (try one flavored with ginger!). If you’re eating fermented foods, just make sure they’re “lacto-fermented” or “naturally fermented” and not pasteurized as that kills the probiotic bacteria.
