Probiotics are indeed very healthy and they can have lots of uses and benefits, but the question is, do you need them? I mean yes, everyone needs probiotic bacteria but what i am saying is, everyone has healthy bacteria in their bodies, so do we really need to use probiotic supplements?

I am sure that a lot of you are asking this question so let's try and answer it. Basically, probiotics are healthy bacteria which help us digest foods by breaking them chemically, because they are good at breaking down organic matter, and they are also good at offering some immune support and a balanced health.

Do you need more of them?

The answer to this question can only come from you, because only you know that. Basically, here are some signs that you might have an imbalance in the gut microflora and that using a supplement or consuming more probiotic foods might help: irritable bowel syndrome, irregular bowel mivements, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and multiple others. If you suffer from these problems, and also depending on how frequent they are, you might need to include some more probiotic bacteria in your diet, through a supplement or through food.

Most of these digestive issues that you are having happen because of harmful microorganisms like certain types of bacteria in the digestive tract or intestines, which can be more harmful in the absence of probiotic bacteria which can make them behave and keep them under control.

Also, your digestion is not as efficient without probiotic bacteria, digestion can last longer, it can basically be slower, you can be missing on nutrients and so on.
Obviously this depends a lot on nutrition and your dietary habits. Certain foods just don't sit well with certain people. Also, there are small things that can have a bad influence on digestion, such as not chewing your food properly, and swallowing the food in large pieces, which then needs to be broken down chemically and that lasts longer. Also a not so known fact, drinking while eating serves to dilute the digestive enzymes which makes digestion slower.

So anyway, with that said, in order to have a balanced digestion you would need to regularly consume vegetables and fruits and probiotic foods and if you prefer, use a probiotic supplement.
