The Importance of Beneficial Bacteria #StubbornFatFix

Intestinal yeast overgrowth and bacterial imbalances can slow metabolism and trigger health problems. Maintaining a thriving population of probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, in your gut is very important to tamp down dangerous bacteria. When you eat fiber, you support your probiotic population because fiber is a “prebiotic”, a precursor to food that keeps healthy bacteria alive. Because the typical American diet is so low in fiber, it literally starves these good bacteria, allowing harmful organisms such as yeast (which survive on sugar, not fiber) to flourish.
