Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called good or helpful bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. Probiotics are naturally found in your body.

Daily Requirements for Adolescents and Adult Women. For most healthy individuals, protein should make up about 10 to 35 percent of the daily caloric intake, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

However, this is too much protein for any woman to consume, including very active women. According to the Institute of Medicine, women should consume at least 46 grams of protein every day. Individualized needs are based on a womanâs total calorie intake. Harvard Medical School suggests women consume about 15 percent of their daily calories from protein; since protein provides 4 calories per gram, this is about 75 grams of protein per day for women consuming 2,000-calorie diets.
