The Health Benefits of Probiotics

Based in Pennsylvania and active in the Philadelphia community, John P. Stoppi serves as the owner, principal engineer, and chief code consultant of Stoppi Engineering, which he founded in 2010. In his free time, John P. Stoppi enjoys hiking, kayaking, and biking. He also has an interest in health and staying current on the latest health news and trends.

Many doctors, scientists, and health professionals have advocated on behalf of probiotics, which are live microorganisms consumed through fermented foods such as sauerkraut, yogurt, and kimchee, as well as supplements. Here are some of the many health benefits linked to probiotics:

1. Digestive system balance. Probiotics include good bacteria that are able to restore the natural balance of gut bacteria. This is especially helpful for people who have too many bad bacteria, which occurs as a result of illness, poor diet, and more.

2. Enhanced mental health. Probiotics have been linked to improved mental health. One study showed that individuals who consumed 100 grams of probiotic yogurt daily experienced benefits relating to general health, depression, anxiety, and stress.

3. Reduce digestive disorder symptoms. Some strains of probiotics have been found to improve symptoms in people suffering from digestive disorders such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

4. Boost immune system. Probiotics have been shown to promote the production of natural antibodies in the body and prevent the growth of harmful gut bacteria.

How to Become a Fire Protection Engineer

John P. Stoppi leverages more than two decades of experience as a fire protection engineer in his current role as principal engineer and chief code consultant for Stoppi Inspection Agency. John P. Stoppi earned a degree in mechanical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University and a master of engineering in fire protection engineering from the University of Maryland.

Fire protection engineers study the causes of fire, and the ways architecture and design can affect the prevention and suppression of fire. To become a fire protection engineer, many people complete the following three steps:

1. Enroll in an accredited engineering program. This training provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in this career. Many fire protection engineers have a BS degree in civil, mechanical, chemical, or electrical engineering. This is because there are very view BS degrees focusing on fire protection engineering in the US.

2. Join a firefighting agency. In addition to studying at the college level, many fire protection engineers gain experience as professional or volunteer firefighters. This kind of experience is attractive to fire agencies in the public sector.

3. Get licensed. Finally, fire protection engineers must earn a license by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam. Each state has its own requirements to sit for either exam. The passing of the PE exam is the culmination of licensure. Engineering licenses are state specific, so most engineers get licensed in more than one state.
