A recent study by Gerbeaud shows how the microbiota, particularly the intestinal microbiota, is made up of all the bacteria present in our digestive tract, particularly the colon. One of their roles is to protect against infection. Here’s how to strengthen and stimulate our intestinal flora, using probiotics and prebiotics.
A microbiota that is unbalanced or weakened by an unsuitable diet or the use of medication, particularly antibiotics, can be temporarily ‘repaired’ by eating certain foods or taking food supplements. The article explores the role of active brewer’s yeast (live, not brewer’s yeast that has been dehydrated at high temperature to obtain flakes) in having a healthy microbiota.
