What is probiotics?
It is the few who have not heard of probiotics at some point, also called lactic acid bacteria. They are found in billionths in your body, more specifically in your gut, where the little living microorganisms play a role in ensuring the normal function of the intestine. Although they are also called lactic acid bacteria, they actually have nothing to do with milk. The name, on the other hand, comes from the bacteria converting lactose into lactic acid.
Not just one bacterial species exists when it comes to probiotics, but thousands. The composition and amount of the many lactic acid bacteria in our bodies are as different as we each are.
Although there are thousands of bacterial species, or tribes, you may have heard of two of them, namely Lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, which are two of the bacterial strains we use in our probiotic supplements. Some of the lactic acid bacteria are also found in probiotic diet. You can read more about which foods contain probiotics below.
Probiotic diet to your stomach
When the lactic acid bacteria convert lactose into lactic acid, it is also called fermentation. You may know that from the drink kombucha or different kinds of yogurt. If you would like to eat probiotic diet you can go after:
-
Beetbedskins
Try a delicious, red and tasteful probiotic drink, namely beetroot. The beetroot is made of fermented beetroot and added orange and ginger. A true pleasure for the taste buds.
-
Yogurt
Some yogurters contain more probiotics than others because they are fermented with extra bacterial culture.
-
Kefir
The white, sour and slightly bubbly beverage has become incredibly popular, and then it contains a wealth of probiotics. You can make the kefir yourself and add the flavor you want, e.g. A sweet taste of blueberries.
-
Kombucha
A milk free drink made on a base of scooby sponge. It may not sound super appealing, but the taste can be great. If you do not want to throw yourself into making it yourself, it can be bought with a lot of flavors.
-
Kimchi
Fermented vegetables, especially cabbage, added taste of everything from garlic to fish sauce. Kimchi is perfect as an accessory for Asian dishes, and then it is relatively easy to make yourself.
-
Sauerkraut
Known from Germany where the fermented cabbage is very popular. Sauerkraut, or sauerkraut, is not for everyone, but whether you like the cabbage or not, it is filled with probiotics if made correctly.
Prebiotics and probiotics - what is the difference?
That sounds a bit like the same but actually it's two different parts of the whole lactic acid bacterium-The talk. Prebiotics and probiotics complement each other, but each has their own functions. Prebiotics is not-digestible carbohydrates and is found mainly in plants in the form of plant fibers - also called dietary fiber. Probiotics are, on the other hand, living microorganisms that, as I said, live in our gut and thus are part of our natural gut flora.
The carbohydrates that Prebiotics consist of act as a "packed lunch" for the probiotic bacteria in your gut, and therefore help to feed the gut bacteria to increase in number.
If you want to eat more dietary fiber so that your gut bacteria can get an even better lunch box, go for whole grain products, vegetables and fruit.

This also applies to some of the good bacteria, including The lactic acid bacteria that live in the intestines. Use a probiotics supplements before-, under- And after antibiticure, so that your gut flora is affected as little as possible. To get the most out of your probiotics, take it after at least three hours after taking your antibiotics.
