Beneficial bacteria are an indispensable element of human health. They can synthesize various vitamins, folic acid and short-chain fatty acids, help food digestion, promote intestinal peristalsis, inhibit the growth of pathogenic flora, decompose harmful and toxic substances, etc.<\/section><section class=\"sc-dxgOiQ hTjMfW\">Insufficient probiotics can lead to an imbalance of gut bacteria. The CUHK research team analyzed the intestinal bacteria of 15 patients during hospitalization and found that the degree of intestinal bacterial imbalance, the amount of virus in the stool, and the severity of the disease are closely related. According to Professor Rao of Karolinska Institutes in Sweden, who studied the relationship between intestinal bacteria, lung bacteria, and immunity, it was found that the source of lung inflammation came from the intestine. It can be seen that the lack of intestinal probiotics will reduce immunity and become a gap for respiratory infections. In patients suffering from respiratory infections such as coronavirus, their gut microbiota will again have an ecological imbalance, with insufficient beneficial bacteria and increased harmful bacteria, causing immune system lesions and increasing the risk of subsequent infections. To reduce the chance of disease, and strengthen the immune system, eat probiotics that help balance the bacteria in the gut and prevent the vicious cycle of gut bacterial infections.<\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a467618 elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"a467618\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-1ab6797 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Cute Asian father piggbacking his son along with his wife in the park.
