Are bacteria and microbes always bad and harmful
Bacteria and microbes often get a bad rap, but the truth is, they are not always harmful. In fact, many bacteria and microbes play essential roles in maintaining our health and the environment. While some can cause diseases and infections, the vast majority are considered good and helpful for our body. These good ones are living microbes that are part of our intestine’s normal microbial flora, commonly known as probiotics.
Did you know that our gut is home to millions of microbes that play a crucial role in regulating inflammation and promoting good gut health? These beneficial microbes, or probiotics, aid in timely digestion and excretion, facilitate the intestinal absorption of nutrients, and protect our gut from harmful microbes. Regular intake of probiotics, whether through natural foods like curd or yogurt or as oral supplements, supports healthy skin and gut health.
But are probiotics related to AD? Can they help treat AD?
It is important to understand that probiotics help control the body’s immune response and inflammation, thereby regulating the release of inflammatory factors that aggravate AD. By managing inflammation, probiotics can help reduce the redness and inflammation associated with the disease. Moreover, probiotics not only limit inflammation but also help prevent flares in AD. Therefore, it can be concluded that probiotics promote good gut health, which in turn helps keep inflammation at bay, making them beneficial for managing AD.
So inclusion of probiotics in our daily routine can indeed be life changing!
