Question
Give scientific reason.
Probiotics have got more importance in recent times.
Solution
Probiotics have got more importance in recent times due to the following reasons:
- Probiotics are healthy foodstuffs which contain active bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium bifidum, etc.
- These microbes form colonies of useful microbes in the alimentary canal and maintain the balance of beneficial intestinal micro-organisms that help in digestion, and decrease the population of harmful microbes such as Clostridium.
- They also improve resistance and lower the ill effects of harmful substances formed during metabolic activities.
- When we take antibiotics, the useful microbes in the alimentary canal become inactive. These microbes can be made active by consuming probiotics.
- Also, probiotics are used for treatment of diarrhoea and treatment of poultry diseases.
