Answer 1

Yes, it does help digest your food. Some bacteria also serves to stop other disease-causing bacteria from growing out of control in your body and harming you.

It is estimated that the human body is host to some 100 Trillion "microbiota" (bacteria) at a given time! Most of this is normal and helps you.

Some bacteria compete with other more harmful bacteria by competing with them for attachment sites (such as attachment to the cells lining the walls of your stomach or intestines); using up needed nutrients (a bacteria is like a tiny animal, that needs food like you and I do...) so that harmful bacteria don't have enough to proliferate; and in some cases even releasing chemical substances that are toxic to other harmful bacteria.
