So, why probiotics are important?
- Enhanced Digestive Health
It is laced with live bacterias that helps in better digestion, lower the chance of digestive disorders, easier nutrient absorption and a physical shield against pathogenic flora, harmful viruses and parasites.
- Immune System Support
Because more than 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, the key to a good immune system is a healthy, balanced microbiome. It may help reduce the risk of infections and the intensity of allergies and autoimmune diseases by making the immune system more robust
- Improved Nutrient Absorption
A probiotic yogurt makes the digestion and absorption of micronutrients more efficient. It is especially helpful for those with lactose intolerance because the bacteria in yogurt can digest lactose and predigest it before you consume it, making it easier to absorb and get the calcium your body needs.
- Support Mental Health
New research on the gut-brain axis is pointing to the inextricable link between our guts and our minds. A good gut is home to key enzymes, vitamins, and neurotransmitters, and will help you feel happy and healthy. Therefore, it is possible that probiotics would have an indirect effect on mental health that would lower anxiety, and ameliorate stress-induced depression.
- Promote Weight Management
Adding probiotic yogurt to a balanced diet will help with weight management. The beneficial bacteria found in yogurt may help to regulate our appetite, boost metabolism, and decrease inflammation—all of which can help contribute to a healthy weight.
