Today I thought I would hear and be amazed to go through Probiotics, Prebiotics & Lactic Acid Bacteria and what they are good for! Because of all my sore throats, I have done a lot of research on health, diet, vitamins, etc. and when I talk to customers and acquaintances about this, I notice that many are interested.<\/p>\n

That's why I thought, why not blog about it! :)<\/p>\n

Those of you who have followed me for a long time know that I have problems with sore throats, or whatever it is, it has shown streptococci only once (of many tests). I get a high fever (39.4 is my usual) type 10-11 times a year. Swollen tonsils and lymph nodes. I have had the problems for 2.5 years now!<\/p>\n

Now the post is not mainly about the immune system and throat problems, but the body is a system that is connected. You need balance. Not least in the stomach !!<\/p>\n

I have thought that I will make a few more posts about diet and health, so I hope you will appreciate these :)<\/p>\n

    A feverish little Helena here who tries to keep the joy of life up :) Haha this was not really meant for the public but I offer it!<\/p>\n

    <\/a>What are the differences between Probiotics and Prebiotics?<\/h2>\n

    Probiotics<\/strong> are good bacteria for the stomach and intestines that help you have a healthy digestive system.\u00a0Prebiotics<\/strong> is plant fiber that acts as food for the good bacteria. So, simply put, probiotics are the bacterium itself and prebiotics are the food that the bacterium eats. Prebiotics thus stimulate the growth of the already existing good bacteria.<\/p>\n

    So, if you eat prebiotics, you feed the probiotic bacteria and they will be very happy and multiply :)<\/p>\n

    <\/a>What is Probiotics?<\/h2>\n

    Probiotika \u00e4r levande bakterier och j\u00e4st som \u00e4r bra f\u00f6r magen, tarmen och kroppen, s\u00e4rskilt f\u00f6r ditt matsm\u00e4ltningssystem. Vanligtvis t\u00e4nker man att bakterier orsakar sjukdomar. Men din kropp \u00e4r full av bakterier, b\u00e5de bra och d\u00e5liga. Probiotika kallas ofta “bra”, “goda” eller “hj\u00e4lpsamma” bakterier eftersom de hj\u00e4lper till att h\u00e5lla magen och tarmen frisk.<\/p>\n

    Probiotics have been shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Can you take Antibiotics and Probiotics at the same time?<\/h4>\n

    I have taken two courses of antibiotics for sore throats but it does not help. However, antibiotics are very bad for the intestinal bacteria.<\/p>\n

    It is therefore extra important to top up with Probiotics when taking antibiotics, as antibiotics not only attack the bad bacteria but also the beneficial and helpful bacteria. However, you should wait to replenish with good bacteria until after an Antibiotic treatment. Otherwise, you only risk killing the bacteria you fill up with, a bit like throwing money in the lake.<\/p>\n

    If you take Probiotics as a dietary supplement, remember to choose one with several different types of bacterial species to get a great variety. An excess of a bacterial species creates an imbalance in the bacterial flora and can cause problems for the stomach and intestines.<\/p>\n

    Should you take probiotics with a meal?<\/h4>\n

    Yes! And I'm very happy about that because I never remember tablets if you have to eat them between meals. Like for example. that stupid antibiotic, I had to sound the alarm three times a day!<\/p>\n

    Why? If you take Probiotics as a dietary supplement and eat it with a meal, the bacteria have a better chance of surviving the way down to the intestines :)<\/p>\n

    \"probiotics,<\/p>\n

    I also drink an effervescent tablet with vitamin C and Zinc, which is also for the immune system. And it has such a nice color too, I was completely unreasonably happy about it haha!<\/p>\n

    You may think I chose a fine glass for the picture but I always drink from it. These are real crystal glasses that my parents received as a wedding gift. But I use them as my regular water glasses every day. Things should not be in the cupboard, they should be used! :)<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Are there any risks or side effects with Probiotics?<\/h4>\n

    I myself have never experienced any problems at all, either from supplements or when I have eaten foods that contain more of the good bacteria. However, you may initially experience stomach upset, gas, diarrhea or bloating, these symptoms usually disappear after the body gets used to the new bacterium. If you have serious health conditions, you may have a greater risk of problems. But a tip if you are not used to eating something to test yourself. Hurry slowly! :)<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Where can I buy Probiotics?<\/h4>\n

    To buy Probiotics that are found in foods, regular grocery stores such as e.g. Ica or Coop. If you want to buy supplements of Probiotics or Lactic Acid Bacteria, you can usually find these in Life & Dietary Supplements stores, and they are available both online and as physical stores. Probiotics are certainly available at the pharmacy too! :)<\/p>\n

    <\/a>How do I take Probiotics?<\/h4>\n

    The best way to get Probiotics is from supplements and foods, Greek yogurt is an easy way to get very good bacteria. Below you have a list of some common foods that contain good bacteria.<\/p>\n
