Probiotics is the buzzword among all health enthusiasts across the globe in recent years. Unbeknownst to most, we have been consuming probiotic food for many millennia. Probiotics, in simple words, are beneficial bacteria and yeasts that have beneficial effects on humans. They multiply through the process of fermentation – a common practice among people across the globe as means of preserving food and also adding new dimensions to how we consume it. The word “probiotic” came into play in 1960 with the purpose of labelling.

It helps the body in maintaining a good balance of bacteria in the lining of our guts. It can restore the “good” bacteria in the body which can be neutralised after consuming drugs or with passage of time. Probiotics minimises the risk of infection, aids in digestion, restricts the growth of harmful bacteria, better nutrient absorption, and also helps in vitamin production.
