Bifidobacteria belong to a group of bacteria called lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria are found in fermented foods like yogurt and cheese. Bifidobacteria are used in treatment as so-called âprobiotics,â the opposite of antibiotics. They are considered friendly bacteria and are taken to grow and multiply in areas of the body where they normally would occur.
Construction began in 1974 and the current city of Cancun rose out of the sand and jungle as a city with no past, populated by people who were born someplace else. By the mid-1980s Cancun had become one of the most popular tourist destinations. A mere 25 years old, it has mushroomed into a vibrant city with 50,000 inhabitants and two million visitors per year. Prior to its birth as a resort, Cancun did not have much history. The Maya settled the area during the Preclassic era (200 BC) and remained until the 14th or 15th century. But the few ruins in the area, discovered in the 19th century, have not revealed much about Cancun ancient history.
There are other very minor ruins along the beach, well marked on most maps. Cancun is a destination of different faces. The most famous, a face recognized by much of the world, is the above-mentioned tourist zone. Cancun City. But Cancun has a population of over 450,000 and there is another Cancun, a lesser-known face to many. This is the heartbeat of the entire area; this is Cancun City or simply Centro. This is an area that is not heavily promoted, but should definitely be included as part of your Cancun vacation if you are spending more than just a long weekend. When the beach and hotel scene get to be a bit overwhelming take a short drive and see where the locals live and spend much of their time.
