How to Enhance Your Meals With Natural Probiotics Enjoy natural ways to enhance the population and beneficial activity of your intestinal flora. Probiotic foods are a great way to make your gut garden grow. We are constantly reminded to consume natural foods and especially fruit and vegetables for all our nutrients, our medicine and our sustenance. Today we mostly depend on yoghurt and probiotic supplements to replace what antibiotics take out of us. The tell-tale itchy white growths on the vagina or mouth indicate we need to control yeast-based infections like candidiasis. But these supplements do not only encourage favourable strains of microbes. It all depends on the terrain, according to the experts. If the gut is either too acidic or too alkaline in certain places then levels of benign yeasts or harmful E. coli, Helicobacter pylori, giardia, etc. can still breed excessively. The mouth saliva is slightly acidic, the oesophagus is alkaline, the stomach is intensely acidic at a pH of 2 so it can kill microbes. https://www.naturefresh.co.za/Article/302
