Out With The Bad, In With The Good: The Four Benefits of Probiotics
There are a good number of health benefits when it comes to taking probiotic supplements or eating food with probiotics, and here are some examples of these said benefits:
Improve Digestion
This is the main role of probiotics since our digestive tracts are home to more than a thousand different types of bacteria. Probiotic supplements or food help increase the population of good bacteria in our digestive tract, which improves the way it works.

Lowers Blood Pressure
This is due to a strain of probiotics called lactobacillus reuteri, which is found in dairy and meat. Some studies have shown that this strain of probiotics lowers cholesterol by 9%. Researchers say this is because probiotics help break up bile salts in the liver (which uses cholesterol to create bile), thus decreasing their reabsorption.

Improve Urinary Health
Urinary Tract Infection or UTI is common amongst women, and while antibiotics are the main prescriptions for women with UTI, it still has a 30-40% chance of coming back. This may result in the intake of more antibiotics, which can lead to gastrointestinal stress if not paired with the right probiotics.
