Probiotics for colds and flu

"
Bacteria present naturally in your body and sometimes found in food could keep cold and flu viruses at bay.

According to a study, young children who drank a mixture of such bacteria, known as probiotics, had fewer colds, needed fewer antibiotics, and missed fewer days of school.

Researchers have already shown that probiotics can benefit those who are ill, and the bacteria are thought to boost the immune system's response to invaders."

"Probiotics increase production of T & B lymphocytes that produce antibodies, coordinate the immune system response, and directly attack infected cells2. Antibodies such as IgM, IgA and IgG serve the body’s acquired response to pathogens. IgM is the antibody first produced by the body in response to infection - it causes other immune system cells to take action - the IgA antibody protects the mucous membranes, and IgG fights infections in body fluids3."

Increase your gut. Eat fermented food. Gluten kills your gut.

 

Probiotics are good yes but please don't spread misinformation about gluten. Most people are not affected by gluten.

 

Probiotics, both the supplements in pill form, and my own lacto fermented sauerkraut, make me breathe deeper and easier............wtf?
