Skin Issues, Skin Problems
Could probiotic face care be the solution to all skin issues? The question was raised by the writer Eva Jost in a contribution to the website of InStyle, a beauty and fashion magazine.

The bacteria in our bodies – on the skin, in the gut, in the throat – constitute a microorganism of their own called the microbiome. Just like the rest of our organism, the latter has to be fed. We call the bacteria’s nutrition probiotics: i.e. what exists before the bacteria’s life (“bio”). But what do

The adult gut contains some 1.5 kilogrammes of bacteria. While a small percentage of these are considered to be potentially harmful, they are outweighed by a large number of “good bacteria”.

“If your vagina could have food delivered…” – this somewhat provocative sentence is the lead-in to an article in Women’sHealth. The answer to this rhetorical question follows immediately: Probiotic foods would feature prominently on our menu. Paying attention to having a healthy bacterial balance in your body is always important. This applies to our diet
Similar to other disorders, prevalence of autism is increasing, but its causes have yet to be fully understood.
