| Could bacteria actually be important to health? It's true. Studies show that those who have a regular intake of acidophilus - a bacteria that naturally lives in the large and small intestines, the mouth and vagina-will actually have longer, healthier lives. Acidophilus is also found in fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, sourcream and cheese. Scientists studying the Balkans in southern Europe found that their regular intake of these types of foods was linked to their especially long life spans. Acidophilus brings many benefits to the body. It is a natural digestive aid, specifically helping to digest milk sugar or lactose. Acidophilus fights bad bacteria in several ways., It produces lactic acid which kills bad bacteria. It is a natural antibiotic. This good bacteria competes with yeast for food, making it impossible for the yeast to gain enough nutrition to multiply and cause Candida. The following symptoms may show a need for acidophilus supplementation: bad breath, Candida, digestive problems, fatigue, flatulation and irregularity of the bowel. To promote health with a proper balance of good bacteria it is recommended to take one to two capsules of Acidophilus at mealtimes. When a child is born in a normal vaginal birth it picks up certain bacteria from its mother's vagina. The most common of these bacteria is B. infantis. As much as 99% of the bacteria in baby's large intestine is the friendly B. infantis. This bacteria helps the baby digest its meals, produce necessary B vitamins, prevent infection by harmful bacteria, assist weight gain and prevent harmful nitrogens from forming. Indications that you should give bifidophilus to your children are: recurring diarrhea or constipation, stomach infections, persistent gas after antibiotic treatments or if the mother in unable to breast feed. Bifidophilus for Kids contains three other friendly bacteria that give a proper balance for children's systems. For best results, one tablet per day is recommended.
