I was answering a question on yahoo answers about bacteria earlier today and it got me thinking I should post something about it. Bacteria can be bad for you, but it also can be good. We all have bacteria in our guts, which works to help us digest our food. The reality is that it is also on our skin. It is there to protect us from other harmful bacteria. You may have heard that antibacterial soap is actually not good to use, it is because the soap will wash off the bacteria on our hands that protects us from disease.
We eat bacteria everyday. It exists in all food. Some foods contain probiotics, bacteria that is good for you, which help our digestive systems. Below I have added a link to a list of probiotic foods.
Lastly, be careful what the doctor gives you. Antibiotics are meant to be used against bacteria and not viruses. Do not let a physician prescribe you an antibiotic for a common cold. Colds are caused by viruses. Doctors will give you antibiotics for things like bronchitis as well. You should try them, but keep in mind that if they don't work bronchitis is caused mostly by some sort of virus.
