The health of our body is supported by trillions of beneficial microorganisms that comprise our intestinal flora. These are invaluable, since in our body's digestive and nutritive process these are what breaks down the nutrients from our food to nurish our cells, organs and systems. When our intestinal flora thrive, we can, too. But when it is impaired or imbalanced, we become more prone to acute health problems, including IBS and other digestive problems, allergies and asthma, urinary tract and yeast infections, hormonal imbalance, obesity, and many others illnesses due to improper nutrition.
