See How Easily You Can Eat Good Bugs

You have a sewer system in your body and it needs to work properly for you to be healthy. It is not the nicest analogy; however that is exactly what is happening inside of you.

If you have ever lived in the country, where the toilet system uses a septic tank buried in the ground out side the bath room window you may have had the unpleasant experience of having to work on it.

How it works is the sewerage goes into a big tank in the ground. The tank has lots of bacteria inside which live off the waste products coming in. They break everything down and the remaining water flows out an outlet pipe into a special drain system in the ground.

The body works much the same way. Bugs and bacteria in the intestinal system break down the waste product that is passing through the body. At each stage of the process when the waste product is broken down sufficiently it then passes to the next part of the body’s digestive tract. This has the food moving from stomach to small intestine, large intestine and out through the back end. If the bugs are incorrect then the waste either passes to quickly (diarrhea) or too slowly (constipation). It may also cause other problems along the way.

It is very important to make sure that the right bacteria are present in your digestive track. This helps with the digestion process of food. The correct bacteria in the right quantities help control diarrhea, yeast infections, constipation and many other gut related problems

One of the best foods to help in getting the right bacteria into our system is yoghurt. Yoghurt has live cultures in it that are extremely important to your body. Dr. Terry Gaff medical director of the emergency department at Parkview Noble Hospital in Kendallville and the Noble County EMS talks about yoghurt and the good impact it can have in our diets.

Dr Gaff says that a normal tub of yogurt is much better then frozen yogurt because the cultures in frozen yogurt are inactive and possibly dead. Many of the yogurt companies have been able to develop a process which keeps the bacteria alive in tubs of normal yogurt. He says pick your favorite flavor and increase you good bacteria helping your body stay healthy.
