Okay kiddo, have you ever heard the saying "you are what you eat"? Well, probiotics are kind of like the superheroes that help keep your tummy healthy and happy!
Now, your tummy has little bugs called bacteria living inside. Most of these bacteria are good and help your body do things like digest your food and fight off bad bugs that make you sick. But sometimes, when you eat certain foods or take medicine, these good bacteria can get in trouble and decrease in numbers.
That's where probiotics come in! Probiotics are more good bacteria that you can eat to help your tummy. They come in yummy foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables. When you eat them, the probiotics go down to your tummy and join up with the good bacteria that are already there.
When your good bacteria have more friends, they get stronger and better at doing their job. This can help your tummy feel better and keep you from getting sick. So, eating probiotics is like giving your tummy a sidekick to help fight the bad bacteria and keep you healthy!
