Probiotics

Microorganisms known as probiotics have a number of positive health effects. While they don't immediately treat a cough, they do help in keeping a balance of gut bacteria. The bacteria that live in your intestines are known as gastrointestinal flora.

The overall health of the immune system can be supported by this balance.

Although the evidence is still inconclusive, a 2015 study found a drop in the number of persons getting upper respiratory infections after taking different strains of probiotics. The suggested daily intakes vary based on the supplement manufacturer. Miso soup, sourdough bread, and various types of yogurt also include probiotics. You should discuss which probiotic is best for you and your condition with your doctor given the variety of probiotics that are presently available. Probiotics can be obtained naturally by eating fermented foods, such as:

• Miso
• Sauerkraut
• Yogurt
• Kefir
• Kombucha
• Tempeh
• Kimchi
• Sourdough
