6 Health Benefits of Probiotics
4. Keeps the urinary tract healthy
Like the digestive system, probiotics also ensure smooth functioning of your urinary system. It keeps the urinary tract clean and also prevents harmful bacteria to invade the urinary tract and cause infection. Therefore, regular intake of probiotics helps in keeping the urinary tract healthy, and prevents urinary infections.
5. Protects reproductive organs
Like the digestive and urinary tracts, the female reproductive organs also thrive due to a somewhat unstable balance between good and bad bacteria. It is when this balance tips off the edge of sustainability, that problems arise in the form of painful infections of the vagina—bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Probiotics help in maintaining this precarious balance of bacteria in the vagina and protect it from such infections.
6. Averts obesity
For women who are overweight or are looking towards losing weight, probiotics help in reducing circumference of the waist and losing abdominal fat. Research has also shown that obese women who undergo surgery need regular intake of probiotics to maintain their weight loss.
