Are germs the enemy?

Are Germs the Enemy

Did you know that germs alone are not always bad for your body?

Many have come to believe that germs make us sick, but that is only partly true. There are many good types of germs or bacteria, that benefit the body.

In fact, we are 10 times more bacteria than cells.

For example, the lactobacillus acidophilus found in yogurt is a good germ for the “gut” that aids in digestion.

Other germs are harmful, but they need a hospitable host to allow them to thrive and cause disease.

When our bodies are weak due to poor nutrition, lack of sleep, or interference in the nervous system, they become the perfect breeding ground for germs to cause colds, flu, and a variety of other illnesses.

Regular chiropractic care, along with our advice for healthy eating, exercise, and living stress-free, can help build a strong defense against unwanted germs.

Adopting a proactive approach to your health means that the “bad” germs will not thrive, but you will! Marc Bony, DC www.quiropractica1.com
