Humans have approximately 100 trillion bacteria living in your GI tract, which includes 500 different species and 7,000 different strains. The beneficial bacteria in ourgut helps us properly digest food. If we are low of these microbes probiotics will help us. Probiotics are defined as “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host.” It is derived from Greek -means “for life”. Why probiotics gained so much importance in our lives? Here are the reasons- studies have shown that probiotics are helpful in following conditions:
Diarrhea: Researchers found that probiotics can shorten diarrhea attacks in children and adults.
Diarrhea from antibiotics: Sometimes taking antibiotics can trigger diarrhea as they kill good bacteria. Probiotics helps in developing good bacteria and reduces yeast infection. Inflammatory Bowel: Studies show that probiotics can help prevent pouchitis – irritation and inflammation of colon.
Bloating: Probiotics reduces bloating symptoms by reducing growth of yeast in the gut.
Eczema: Some studies indicate that childhood eczema can be controlled by natural probiotics
These natural microbes can be found in foods like yogurtas well as supplements that come in pills, capsules, powders, and liquids. The better way to consume probiotics is from natural sources. Because we will know where the probiotics have originated, the food will be mostly familiar to us and how good for our health.
A traditional Hawiian food called Poi is a good source of probiotics. It is a Hawaiian word for the primary Polynesian staple food made from the underground plant stem or corm of the taro plant (known in Hawaiian as kalo). It is a traditional part of Native Hawaiian cuisine. Poi is produced by mashing and pounding followed by cooking the corm (baked or steamed) until it is a highly viscous fluid looks like dough. Poi has a paste-like texture and a delicate flavor, with a pale purple color that derives from that of the taro corn. Poi powder is available online stores like amazon.com and http://tastyislandhawaii.com/
What it contains? Poi has more beneficial bacteria than yogurt. Fresh poi is sweet and edible all by itself. Each day thereafter, the poi loses sweetness and turns slightly sour, due to a natural fermentation that involves Lactobacillus, yeast, and Geotrichum. Taro is low in fat, high in vitamin A, and abounds in complex carbohydrates. Poi has been used as a milk substitute or baby food for babies. It contains no gluten, and as such is safe for ingestion by people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
