Researchers have discovered that microbes of all kinds play instrumental roles in the functioning of your body. For example, beneficial bacteria, also known as probiotics, have been shown to:

-
Control asthma and reduce risk of allergies
-
Benefit your mood and mental health
-
Normalize your weight
