Short video/transcript of Dr. Sanda Moldovan explaining the role and benefits of 'good' bacteria (probiotics) for intestinal and oral health, including examples of probiotic products she personally uses and practical advice on diet and supplementation. The speaker also invites questions via Twitter and her website.
Foreign. Hi, guys, I'm Dr. Sanda, and I want to talk to you about good bacteria. Is there such thing? Yes, there is. They're called probiotics, meaning pro life. And actually, we could not be alive today if it wasn't for the bacteria that's helping us produce all kinds of things in our. Our intestinal tract, such as vitamin B12, which is good for energy, and, and help us produce the iron there to help the absorption of it. So not all bacteria is bad. And we have bacteria all over our body, from the mouth, from the skin, into the intestines. We actually have in our intestines about about 2 pounds to 3 pounds of bacteria. So that's a lot, right? So make sure you actually take good care of that. So in order to promote the growth of healthy bugs, what you want to do is eat healthy, keep a good diet, less processed foods, less sugar. But also, there are some products on the market called probiotics that I recommend you take on a regular basis. One of them is actually a complete probiotic for the health of intestinal tract, and that actually may even give you some energy. And I take one of these a day. And mine has about 25 billion friendly bacteria that are alive in every little capsule in this bottle. The other one that we have especially for oral health is actually a probiotic chewable tablet. And this is actually pretty tasty. It has xylitol on it so it tastes like sugar. And it not only promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in your mouth, but it also helps your upper respiratory tract so your nose and your sinuses stay healthy. And it keeps the bad bugs away by protecting all your tissues. Do you have any questions about probiotics? Go ahead and tweet me at Drsanda or go to my website@drsandamoldovan.com and I'll be happy to answer any one of your questions. Until next time.
