In addition, the "good bacteria" make it easier for you to digest your food, helping your body to assimilate more nutrition and rid itself of toxins. Improved digestion is the most natural way to improve the radiance of your skin, keep your bowel movements regular, and help you sleep better. With less excess sugar and toxic waste, your body will find itself with a lot less work to do. Many people who add probiotics to their diets wake up feeling more vibrant, rejuvenated, and full of energy. Along with these benefits often comes a loss of excess weight and an immune system that seems more resistant to invaders. While only a handful of scientific studies have measured the effects of probiotics on immune system health, individuals have used them to treat everything from cancer to the common cold. Of course, fermented foods are less of a medicine than a healthy addition to your diet. Eat and drink more of them, and you may provide your body with the stronger support it needs to resist diseases, infections, and other health problems.
