Probiotics Could Prevent Fatal Toxic Shock in Women (κλικ ΕΔΩ για Μετάφραση
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an extremely serious condition that is caused by toxins produced by particular types of bacteria. Both group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus have been implicated. This life threatening condition has been associated mainly with the use of tampons, however, it can affect people of all genders and ages.
TSS Symptoms
People afflicted with TSS experience a progressive decline in blood pressure, confusion and dizziness, peeling of the skin and occasionally seizures and death as a result of harmful bacterial toxins, Tampons, especially those left in place for a long period of time, create a perfect breeding ground for the toxins. TSS can also occur as a result of surgery complications or skin infections.
Bacterial Balance
Creating a healthy balance of bacteria could save your life, according to researchers. A recent study out of The University of Western Ontario has discovered that certain strains of lactobacillus bacteria are able to hinder the production of the dangerous toxins responsible for TSS. According to researchers the pH and the type and number of bacteria present in the vagina may serve as an indication of whether or not the Staphylococcus aureus strains will produce fatal toxic shock syndrome.
The results of this research indicate that a better diagnostic tool is needed to assess the health of the microflora in the vagina and that more emphasis should be placed on probiotics to reduce the risk of infections and increase vaginal health. The current system of culturing is ineffective, according to researchers and is not able to properly assess the risk of infections. Broad spectrum antibiotics do not neutralize toxins in the vagina and should be replaced by practices that focus on creating healthy bacteria, such as the use of probiotics.
To improve your healthy bacteria counts, eat foods rich in probiotics such as kale, garlic, seaweed, blueberries, parsley, beets and cranberries, kefir, miso and sauerkraut. You can also take a high quality probiotic supplement such as Forever active probiotic.

The Bristol Poop Chart: Which of the 7 Types of Bowel Movements Are You?
Type One
These stools have spent the longest in the colon and are often very difficult to pass. They resemble small nuts or hard lumps.
Type Two
Type two stools are shaped like a sausage but still have visible lumps. They are somewhat difficult to pass.
Type Three
These stools are also sausage-shaped and better formed than type 2, but with visible cracks.
Type Four
These stools are like a smooth sausage or snake. They are well formed and easy to pass.
Type Five
Although these stools are easy to pass, they are comprised of many soft blobs with clear edges.
Type Six
Type six stools are soft, fluffy and mushy with ragged edges.
Type Seven
If you have a type seven stool, it will be almost entirely liquid with no solid pieces.
Which Type is Best and Why?
Type 4 is the easiest stool to pass and demonstrative of a healthy colon. Stools should glide out smoothly and cause no discomfort. When you sit down to use the bathroom there should be no delay – in other words you should not get halfway through Gone with The Wind before you have a movement. In fact, you should not have much time for reading at all.
re You Backed Up?
Every time you eat you should poop. This means that most people should poop from 1 to 3 times per day, not week. It is common for fecal matter to back up in the colon causing pain and discomfort. Proper elimination is a sign of colon health. If your body is storing excrement, something is wrong. Symptoms may include headaches, bad breath and skin problems. If your fecal matter backs up it can cause a traffic jam in your colon allowing the body to re-absorb toxins it was trying to eliminate. A diet rich in whole foods and plenty of filtered water helps to keep constipation at bay.
The Well-Formed Stool
The well formed stool is the result of proper consumption and digestion. If you consume a diet low in fiber and high in processed foods, your stools will be malformed. Healthy stools do not contain undigested food parts. If they have undigested parts, it usually means that we chewed our food too quickly or we have insufficient acid for the breakdown of food parts. Many people in America are hooked on antacids which actually result in a depletion of stomach acids. To counter this, try drinking warm lemon water in the morning.
What About Floaters?
Floaters are good, they indicate a healthy amount of fiber and essential fatty acids. Most people are lacking in healthy fats, and this will cause stools to sink immediately or be malformed. Contrary to what you may think, not all fats are bad. Healthy fats are, in fact, essential. If your stools are sinking like a torpedo rather than hanging around on the top of the surface of the water a while, consider adding some ground flax to your daily diet. It goes great in cereal, salads or smoothies.
Take a Peek
Go on… take a peek the next time you use the bathroom. If your stool is less than perfect, work on your diet. In the end, what comes out your back end is the result of what you put in your front end. Keep this in mind as you make wise and healthy food choices.
